General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Click here for more information.

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
