A reversible decoration of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by acyclic η4-(1E,3E)-dienyl-Fe(CO)3 complexes†
Abstract
Selected acyclic disubstituted η4-(1E,3E)-dienyl-Fe(CO)3 iron complexes presented a non-covalent, but reversible affinity for O groups of the Fe(CO)3 unit (νC
O = 1966–2068 cm−1). These peaks appeared in an absorption window free of any parasitic band that usually characterize organic/bio-organic species. Routine
