Sg. Davies et al., PHOTOLABILISATION OF PHOSPHINE-LIGANDS BOUND TO IRON - PHOTOFRAGMENTATION VOLTAMMETRY ANALYSIS, Perkin transactions. 2, (6), 1993, pp. 1005-1007
Photofragmentation volammetry is used to demonstrate directly the prim
ary loss of P(Ar)3 from [(eta5-C5H5)Fe(CO)(PAr3)=C(NHMe)Me] +BF4- (Ar
= phenyl 1 and p-tolyl 2) on irradiation with visible light. In contra
st, no loss of carbon monoxide is observed.
