Though a largely insoluble solid, when gently heated with alkyl amines, triiron dodecacarbonyl readily converts to a highly soluble, non-volatile, low-toxicity precursor for the synthesis of iron-containing nanoparticles. We show that this precursor is a convenient replacement for the volatile and highly toxic iron pentacarbonyl.

Tetramethylcyclobutadieneiron tricarbonyl has been obtained in 25–37% yield from the reaction of triiron dodecacarbonyl with either 3,4-dichlorotetramethylcyclobutene or tetramethylcyclobutadienenickel chloride dimer. The latter reaction also gave small amounts of another complex, Me8C8NiFe(CO)3. The reaction of [Me4C4NiCl2]2 with iron pentacarbonyl gave Me4C4Fe(CO)3 together with two other complexes. The structures of these new complexes are discussed in the light of their nuclear magnetic resonance, mass, and infrared spectra.


This paper contains an account of the results of the continuation of the experiments on the action of light on the liquid iron carbonyl (iron penta-carbonyl) and the action of heat on the resulting solid compound, diferro-nonacarbonyl, Fe 2 (CO) 9 , which were described in a paper on “The Physical and Chemical Properties of Iron Carbonyl,” communicated to the Society in 1905. The experiments on the action of light on iron pentacarbonyl under varied conditions have resulted in new and interesting observations, and approximate measurements of the velocity of the reaction induced by light have been made and compared with that of other reactions induced by light.

Iron pentacarbonyl in boiling butyl ether converts primary amides or thionamides to nitriles, and benzanilide or thionbenzanilide to N-benzylideneaniline. Diiron nonacarbonyl reacts with p-methoxy-thionbenzamide to form a complex C22H16N2S2O8Fe2; a possible structure is proposed.
