C. Dossi et al., INFRARED ANALYTICAL EVIDENCE OF OXYGEN-INDUCED FORMATION OF FE(CO)(5)FROM CO AND STEEL WALLS OF AN IN-SITU DRIFT CELL, Annali di chimica, 84(7-8), 1994, pp. 347-352
The formation of volatile Fe(CO)5 carbonyl from CO and the steel walls
of an in situ IR cell has been investigated as the cause of iron cont
amination of the samples. Correlation with the use of oxidizing atmosp
heres, leading to a thin film of iron oxides on the cell walls, is als
o discussed.
