Usage

General Description

Bis(ethene)iron tricarbonyl, also known as biethylene iron tricarbonyl, is a chemical compound consisting of an iron atom coordinated to two ethene molecules and three carbon monoxide ligands. It is a coordination complex that is widely used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in the hydroformylation of alkenes to produce aldehydes. The compound is known for its ability to facilitate the insertion of carbon monoxide into the alkene C-H bond, leading to the formation of aldehyde products. Biethylene iron tricarbonyl is a key component in the industrial production of various chemicals and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a research reagent in organometallic chemistry and catalysis studies.

IR LASER PYROLYSIS AND THE ISOTOPIC LABELLING OF ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS

A homogeneous gas phase pyrolysis technique involving SF6 sensitization and a continuous wave (CW) CO2 laser, is described for preparing small quantities (ca. 100 mg) of organometallic compounds.Several reactions have been successfully carried out and the synthesis of Os(CO)5 from H2Os(CO)4 and CO is discussed in detail.With IR laser pyrolysis, room temperature reactors and sub-atmospheric pressures can be used for reactions which normally require high pressures and temperatures.

Synthesis of cationic allyl- and dienecarbonyl complexes of group VI-VIII metals in the presence of strong protonic acid

Cationic allylcarbonyl complexes of Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Re, Fe, Co, Rh and Ir are synthesized by reaction of a carbonyl-containing compound with allyl alcohol or conjugated diene in the presence of strong protonic acid.This reaction is promoted by an increase in basicity of the initial complex and an increase in acidity of the medium; the nature of the organic substrate is also important for synthesis of this type of carbonyl complex.Cationic diene complexes have been formed by the action of dienes and acid on compounds with a metal-metal bond or on neutral allyl complexes.

Low-temperature matrix photochemistry of (1,3-diene)tricarbonyliron complexes

UV photolysis of (η4-2,3-dimethylbutadiene)Fe(CO)3 and (η4-butadiene)Fe(CO)3 in inert matrices at 10 K was monitored by IR and UV spectroscopy. Elimination of CO is the predominant photoreaction. In the latter case we also observed the decomplexation of the butadiene ligand and hence the formation of (η2-butadiene)Fe(CO)3. This product is also obtained during the photolysis of (η2-butadiene)Fe(CO)4 which is subsequently transformed to (η4-butadiene)Fe(CO)3. For comparison, (η2-ethylene)Fe(CO)4 and (η2-1,3-cyclohexadiene)Fe(CO)4 were photolyzed under analogous conditions. Photolysis of (η4-1,3-diene)Fe(CO)3 complexes in nitrogen matrices gives (η4-1,3-diene)Fe(CO)2N2; formation of (η2-butadiene)Fe(CO)3N2 from (η2-butadiene)Fe(CO)4 requires annealing of the nitrogen matrix subsequent to irradiation.
