Ln. Novikova et al., Kinetics of eta(6)->eta(5) isomerization of (eta(6)-fluorenyl)(eta(5)-cyclopentadienyl)iron, RUSS CHEM B, 50(1), 2001, pp. 157-158
The kinetics of the reversible isomerization of the zwitterionic complex [(
eta (6)-C13H9)Fe(eta (5)-C5H5)] (1) into dibenzoferrocene (2) was studied b
y electronic spectroscopy in the temperature range from 70 to 103 degreesC.
The activation parameters of the reaction 1 --> 2 were determined, E-a = 2
2.5 kcal mol(-1).
