Synthetic, structural and molecular modelling studies of organoiron complexes of catalytic importance

The synthesis and characterization of a series of new alkyl dicarbonyl pentaznethylcyclopentadienyl iron compounds, [(η⁵-C₅(CH₃)₅)Fe(CO)₂R], is the starting point for an investigation of these compounds and their relevance as models for catalytic reactions. The compounds have been synthesized by the reaction of Na[(η⁵-C₅(CH₃)₅)Fe(CO)₂] with the appropriate n-alkyl chloride or bromide (R=n-C₃H₇ to n-C₁₂H₂₅). The majority of the compounds are new and have been fully characterized by microanalysis, IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR and mass spectrometry. The data are discussed and some properties and reactions of the compounds are described.
