Abstract A review of the chemical and physical properties of MnRe(CO)10 and its derivatives has been undertaken. This heterobimetallic complex is one of the simplest complexes known which contains a bond between two different metals and does not contain bridging groups. The review has revealed that high yield synthetic strategies are known for this complex and the synthetic strategies have bearing for the synthesis of other bimetallic complexes. Kinetic data suggest that information available on monometallic fragments can provide information on the reactivity trends expected for the dimer. However, the second metal is not a neutral spectator and provides a site forsecondary reactions eg for CO substitution. Data on the physical properties of the dimer are sparse and definitive statements ond Mn-Re·v Mn-Re, ΔHMn-Re etc. cannot be made. This has significant implications for studies on related simple and complex dimer and cluster complexes.
