Ys. Nekrasov et al., FRAGMENTATION OF (ETA(5)-CYCLOPROPENTADIENYL)IRON CARBONYL DERIVATIVES OF CARBORANES(12) UNDER ELECTRON-IMPACT, Russian chemical bulletin, 44(3), 1995, pp. 467-469
Mass spectra of (eta(5)-cyclopentadienyl)iron dicarbonyl derivatives o
f carborane(12), CpFe(CO)(2)C2H11B10 and CPFe(CO)(2)COC2H11B10, were s
tudied. The effect of the carboranyl radical and the fragmentation of
the organometallic moiety (decarbonylation and rearrangement with migr
ation of the Cp ring to the carboranyl radical) and that of the organo
metallic moiety on the dehydrogenation of carborane were observed.
