Photochemical formation of [HFe3(CO)11]– and [HFe(CO)4]– from Fe(CO)5 adsorbed on hydrated alumina
Abstract
Photolysis of Fe(CO)5 adsorbed on hydrated alumina produced simultaneously hydride species, [HFe3(CO)11]– and [HFe(CO)4]–, and an intermediate species, Fe(CO)4 adsorbed on the basic sites of alumina.
