Ferraindene-iron tricarbonyl complexes by a novel dehydrobromination of o-bromostyrene on photolysis with Fe(CO)5
Abstract
Irradiation of o-bromostyrene in the presence of Fe(CO)5 leads to the formation of ferraindenetricarbonyliron [C8H6Fe2(CO)6] and ferraindenebistricarbonyliron [C8H6Fe3(CO)9]via dehydrobromination, in addition to complexes derived from direct co-ordination of the original substrate.
