Abstract

Abstract Improved synthetic routes to [FeI (dppe) Cp], and [MoX (dppe)(η 7-C 7 H 7)](X= Br, Cl) are described.[FeI (CO) 2 Cp] reacts with dppe in refluxing toluene to give multi-gram quantities of [FeI (dppe) Cp], 3 without the need for photochemical activation. The direct thermal reaction of [MoX (CO) 2 (η 7-C 7 H 7)], 4 with dppe is complicated by competition between associative and dissociative substitution processes. Where X= Br, the associative ...
