Transfer of an oxide ion from an anionic carbon dioxide complex to a cationic carbonyl complex
Lee, Gary R.,Cooper, N. John

Reaction of Li2[W(CO)5(CO2)] with [Fp(CO)]-BF4 leads principally to [W(CO)6] and [Fp2]. It is proposed that Li[Fp(CO)2] is the initial product, but that this reacts readily with [Fp(CO)]BF4 to give [Fp2], CO, and CO2. Initial oxide transfer to [Fp(CO)]BF4 is supported by labeling studies using 13CO2 and C18O2 which show that oxygen, but not carbon, is incorporated into the product [Fp2] from the CO2 of Li2[W(CO)5(CO2)].
