Abstract

Time-resolved i.r. spectroscopy is used to monitor directly the formation of [(C5H5)Fe(CO)P(OMe)3]· in the reaction of P(OMe)3 with [(C5H5)Fe(CO) 2]·, generated by 351 nm photolysis of [{(C5H 5)Fe(CO)2}2] in n-heptane solution at room temperature; the reaction is an associative process with a bimolecular rate constant of 8.9 ± 2.0 × 108 dm3 mol -1 s-1.
