Infrared and Mössbauer spectra of tetracarbonylcadmioiron and related complexes
Abstract
The i.r. and Mössbauer spetra of CdFe(CO)4 and of several complexes of the type L2MFe(CO)4(M = Zn or Cd; L = nitrogen donor ligand) have been recorded. The Mössbauer spectra indicate the presence of octahedrally co-ordinated iron atoms and, on this basis, possible structures for the complexes are discussed. The complexes L2CdFe(CO)4(L =γ-picoline; L2= en, bipy, and phen) have not been previously reported.
