Abstract
Treatment of pentacarbonyliron with pentafluorophenylacetylene has given the stable complex tricarbonyl-2,5-bis(pentafluorophenyl)cyclopentadienoneiron. There is no evidence of the formation of other structural isomers. The complex is also formed from pentafluorophenylaoetylene and nonacarbonyldiiron or dodecacarbonyltriiron. Two alkyne-cobalt complexes have been isolated from the interaction of octacarbonyldicobalt and pentafluorophenylacetylene. One of these is a bridging alkyne complex of molecular stoicheiometry Co2(CO)6(C6F6CCH); the second is a complex of formula Co3(CO)9(CCH2C6F5). The infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the complexes are given, and the probable structures of the compounds are deduced from these spectroscopic properties.
