The Preparation and Characterization of Substituted Pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl Ligands, Their Precursors, and Complexes of Iron

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization by infrared, 1H and 13C n.m.r . and mass spectroscopy of the compounds C5Ph4(p-C6H4R)X (R = H, Me, Et, But; X = OH, Br, H), C5Ph4-n(p-C6H4Me)nO (n = 1, 2, 4), C5Ph5-n(p-C6H4Me)nX (n = 2, 3; X = OH, Br) and C5Ph4(p-C6H4R)Fe(CO)2Br (R = H, Me, Et, But) are described.
