Ac. Cano et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE NOVEL COMPLEX MU-(ETA(2),ETA(2)-DIBENZYLIDENEACETONE)FE-2(CO)(8), Journal of organometallic chemistry, 464(1), 1994, pp. 30000023-30000024
The thermal reaction of Fe-2(CO)(9) with dibenzylideneacetone in boili
ng diethyl ether gives the dinuclear yellow-orange air-stable mu-(eta(
2),eta(2)-dibenzylideneacetone)Fe-2(CO)(8) (I). The structure of the c
omplex was determined by IR,H-1 NMR, and C-13 NMR spectroscopy, and X-
ray crystallography.
