Solvent control of selective ligand labilization in transition metal photochemistry
Abstract
The ligand photolabilization of trans-[Fe(tim)-(CO)(MeCN)]2+(tim = 2,3,9,10-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-tetraene) is controlled by the solvent with loss of CO occurring when the complex is photolysed in acetonitrile but loss of acetonitrile occurring when it is photolysed in acetone.
