The Kinetics of the Insertion Reaction of Tin(II) Chloride with a Mono-substituted Derivative of Cyclopentadienyliron Dicarbonyl Dimer
Keyword(s):
The kinetics of the thermal insertion reaction of SnCl2 with the metal–metal bonded complex (π-C5H5)2Fe2(CO)3P(OC6H5)3 have been studied by following the change in the visible spectrum in THF over the temperature range 40.0 to 55.0 °C. The data are consistent with a two-stage mechanism involving the formation of an intermediate in which the iron–iron bond has been broken but the carbonyl bridges are left intact. From the activation enthalpy of 23.4 ± 0.5 kcal/mol for the formation of the intermediate it is concluded that the triphenyl phosphite has brought about a weakening of the iron–iron bond.
