Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, an organometallic compound used as a gasoline additive to increase the octane rating and reduce engine knock. It functions as an anti-knock agent, allowing engines to operate with higher compression ratios without pre-ignition. However, its use has been a subject of debate due to concerns regarding manganese emissions and their potential impact on catalytic converters.
