Abstract
Photolysis of a C6D6 solution of a hydrodisilanyliron complex Cp(OC)2F eSiMe2SiMe2H in the presence of MeOH afforded Cp(OC)FeH(SiMeOMe)2, CP( OC)2FeSiMe2OMe, [CpFe(CO)2]2, and MeOSiMe2H. A plausible mechanism is proposed for the reaction, in which a disileneiron complex Cp(OC)FeH(S iMe2=SiMe2) and a methoxy-bridged bis(silylene)iron complex Cp(OC)Fe{S iMe2...O(Me)...SiMe2} are formed successively as transient intermediat es.
