ORGANOMETALLOIDAL DERIVATIVES OF THE TRANSITION METALS. V. A 1,2-ALKYL SHIFT FROM LEAD TO A TRANSITION METAL
Pannell, Keith H.
, p. 37 - 40 (1980)
The complexes (η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2PbR3 (R=Me and Et) have been synthesized and characterized.The trimethyllead complex is extremely labile with respect to thermal and photochemical decomposition that leads to the formation of (Me)4Pb, Pb, and (η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2Me.This new type of methyl transfer from Pb to Fe does not occur for the triethyllead complex thermally, but does occur to a limited extent photochemically, and helps explain certain zinc treatments for removal of organolead compounds from industrial effluents.
