Synthesis, characterization and reactions of the transition metal halogenoalkyl carbocation complexes [Cp(CO)2M{η2-CH2CH(CH2)nX}]PF6 (n=1–8, 10, M=Fe; n=3, 4 M=Ru; X=Br, I)

(μ-Ethane-1,2-diamine-κ2N:N′)bis[dicarbonyl(η5-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II)] bis(tetrafluoridoborate)

“…The title compound is a water-soluble organometallic compound which was prepared as part of our ongoing study on functionalized alkyl transition metal complexes (M'thiruaine et al, 2011;Changamu & Friedrich 2008;Friedrich et al, 2005;Changamu, Friedrich, Howie, & Rademeyer, 2007;Changamu et al, 2009). The asymmetric unit ( (Table 1).…”

“…Iron is also found in the blood of both vertebrates and invertebrates in which it forms Fe-N bonds in the heme group of hemoglobin or myoglobin. To the best of our knowledge HMTA, DABCO and 1-meIm complexes with the {(g 5 4 (R = H, CH 3 ; 1-meIm = 1-methylimidazole), which is a part of an on-going study on functionalized transition metal alkyl complexes [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”
