In organometallic chemistry, (diene)iron tricarbonyl describes a diverse family of related coordination complexes consisting of a dieneligand coordinated to a Fe(CO)3 center. Often the diene is conjugated, e.g., butadiene, but the family includes nonconjugated dienes as well. The compounds are yellow, air-stable, often low-melting, and soluble in hydrocarbon solvents. The motif is so robust that even unstable dienes form easily characterized derivatives, such as norbornadienone and cyclobutadiene.
chiral, thiepine = cyclo-C6H6S, which is antiaromatic[10]
Preparation and uses
Many of diene complexes were originally prepared by reaction of iron pentacarbonyl with the diene under UV-radiation. Often yields are modest because the complexes, which are often liquids, volatilize during workup.[5] Some derivatives derivatives are prepared displacement of bda from (benzylideneacetone)iron tricarbonyl (Fe(bda)(CO)3)[11]
IR spectra of these complexes show νCO bands near 2040 and 1969 cm-1. At low temperatures, the lower energy band splits, which has been interpreted as evidence for fluxionality on the IR timescale.[13]
