A simple, rapid synthesis of Group VI metal carbonyl anions of the type M(CO)5X#x2012;, (X = CN, SCN, l, Cl, and C #x2261; CC6H5) has been found. Reaction of the dinuclear anions, M2(CO)10#x2ED;, with either silver salts, AgX, or mercuric salts, HgX2, affords the corresponding mononuclear anions in moderate to good yields
