Abstract

Photolysis of CpFe(ρ-xylene)⁺ (Cp = η⁵-cyclopentadienyl) in the presence of suitable 6- or 2-electron donor ligands results in replacement of the aromatic ring with one 6-electron or three 2-electron donor ligands. The compounds [CPFe(η⁶-C₇H₈)]BF₄ (C₇H₈ = cycloheptatriene), [CpFe(η⁶-C₈H₈)]PF₆, (C₈H₈ = cyclooctatetraene), [CpFe(η⁶-PCP)]PF₆ (PCP = 2,2-paracyclophane), [CpFe-(P(OCH₃)₃)₃]PF₆ and [CpFe(P(OCH₂CH₃)₃)₃]PF₆ were prepared in this manner. The compound [CpFe(TM4)₃FeCp](PF₆)₂ · CH₃COCH₃ (TM4 = 2,5-dimethyl-2,5 diisocyanohexane) was prepared in two steps. First, [CpFe(ρ-xylene)]PF₆ was irradiated with an excess of the free TM4 ligand producing a mixture of [CpFe(TM4)₃]⁺ and [CpFe(TM4)₃FeCp]²⁺. An additional equivalent of [CpFe(p-xylene)]PF₆ was added to this mixture and photolysis yielded [CpFe(TM4)₃FeCp](PF₆)₂ · CH₃COCH₃.
