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
