Abstract

A series of palladium, platinum and manganese di(organo)carbene complexes have been prepared from 4-chloro-N-methylquinolinone by processes that involve alkylation before or after attachment to the metal unit; the nucleophilic heteroatoms are separated from the C-donor atom by three bonds.
