The content of the research presented in this thesis is based on the synthesis, purification, and characterization of phospholes with group six metal carbonyls, and reduction chemistry of dibenzothiophene manganese tricarbonyl cation. The cyclic voltarnmetry of n6-DBTMn(CO)3BF4. was performed at various scan rates with different working electrodes. Dibenzothiophenes may be useful in producing polymers while phospholes are important due to their unique bonding and C--P chemistry.
