Primary and secondary aliphatic amines react with iron pentacarbonyl to form adducts, detected by i.r. spectroscopy in solution. Quantitative studies suggest that all these adducts contain at least two molecules of amine. It is suggested that the amine must be concentrated enough to be in a hydrogen-bonded state in order to form adducts, and that the structure of these substances involves ion-pair or ion-cluster formation.
