A convenient synthesis of C5(CD3)5H. Synthesis and characterisation of Fe{η5-C5(CD3)5}2
Abstract
The large scale synthesis of deuterio(pentamethylcyclopentadiene), C5(CD3)5H ([2H30]Cp*H), and subsequent synthesis of [2H30][Fe(η-Cp*)2] is described, together with i.r., Ramah, and solid state 2H n.m.r. spectroscopic characterisation.
