The lability of the benzene ligand in the new benzene-iron dimers, (η6-C6H6)Fe(CO)4FeR>BF4 (R = η5-C6H7 (4) or η5-C5H5 (5)), is demonstrated, and the use of benzene as a leaving group exploited in the reaction of (η5-C6H7)FeI(CO)2 with PPh3 which gives the unexpected trans isomer, confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure, of FeHI(CO)2(PPh3)2 (7) as the major product.
