IRON DODECACARBONYL Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

black powder or crystals

Uses

It eliminates sulfur from substituted thiophene complexes, which leads to ferroles. Access to new areas of organometallic chemistry is promising using the reaction of Fe3(CO)12 with tellurium-nitrogen heterocycles such as benzoisotellurazole.

General Description

This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency.

Purification Methods

It usually contains 10% by weight of MeOH as stabiliser. This can be removed by keeping it in a vacuum at 0.5mm for at least 5hours. It can be sublimed slowly at high vacuum and is soluble in organic solvents. [Landesberg et al.
