Application

Iron(0) pentacarbonyl can be used:
  • As an iron source to synthesize Fe-doped thin TiO2 films.
  • As a ligand to synthesize complexes of gold(I) and Fe(CO)5, silver and Fe(CO)5.
Reactant for:
  • Addition reactions
  • Decomposition via photolysis
  • Preparation of magnetic Fe onion-like fullerene micrometer-sized particles of narrow size distribution via thermal decomposition
  • Preparation of a heptanuclear iron carbonyl cluster used in catalytic hydrosilane reduction of carboxamides

  • Precursor for preparation of Fe nanoparticles for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under highly basic conditions

Interaction of the copper, {[3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz]Cu}(3), and silver, {[3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz]Ag}(3), macrocycles [3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolate] with cyclooctatetraeneiron tricarbonyl, (cot)Fe(CO)(3), was investigated by IR and NMR spectroscopy for the first time. The formation of 1:1 complexes was observed at low temperatures in hexane. The

The equilibrium structures and vibrational frequencies of the iron complexes [Fe(0)(CN)(n)(CO)(5-n)](n-) and [Fe(II)(CN)(n)(CO)(5-n)](2-n) (n = 0-5) have been calculated at the BP86 level of theory. The Fe(0) complexes adopt trigonal bipyramidal structures with the cyano ligands occupying the axial positions
