Abstract

The reaction of the Fe2 (CO) $-dianion with methylene iodide leads to the formation of the parent bridging methylene complex, octacarbonyl (p-methylene) diiron, Fe,(CO) &H,. The reaction appears to be general and several derivatives have been prepared by using other geminal diiodides. The bridging methylene complexes react with unsaturated reactants such as olefins and acetylenes to produce new organometallic complexes in which the ...
