The reactivity of cyclopentadienyl dicarbonyl complexes of iron, ?5-C5H5(CO)2Fe-?1-R (R = alkyl or aryl). Synthesis of novel derivatives substituted in the cyclopentadienyl ring

The results of the study of the reactivity of the cyclopentadienyl ligand in Cp(CO)2Fe-η1-R (R=Alk or Ar) iron complexes have been summarized. The methods for preparation of mono-, bi-, and trinuclear homo- and heterometallic complexes containing a Cp(CO)2Fe moiety are presented.
