Reaction of pentacarbonyliron with phthalonitrile in dimethylformamide and isolation of carbonyl derivatives of iron(II) phthalocyanine stabilised by group 6 donor atoms
Abstract
The preparation and properties of some phthalocyanine (pc)–carbonyl derivatives [Fe(pc)(CO)L][L = dimethylformamide (dmf), tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl sulphoxide, ammonia, and PrnNH2] are reported, the first compound in the series being obtained directly from the reaction of [Fe(CO)5] with o-C6H4(CN)2 in dmf.
