Synthesis of (μ²,η³-allyl-η⁵-oxapentadienyl)diiron pentacarbonyl complexes, an unusual reaction product from η⁴-(vinylketene)Fe(CO)₃complexes: structure and electron density distribution analysis

Abstract

The synthesis of a series of ferrocenylvinylketenes as stable η4-[Fe(CO)3] complexes (3a-f) was successfully accomplished through the reaction of η2-[Fe(CO)4] complexes under mild carbonylation conditions. The reactivity of 3a-f under...
