Abstract:Partial ligand substitution at the iron pentacarbonyl radical cation generates novel half‐sandwich complexes of the type [Fe(η6‐arene)(CO)2]•+ (arene = 1,3,5‐tri‐tert‐butylbenzene, 1,3,5‐trimethylbenzene, benzene and fluorobenzene). Of those, the bulkier 1,3,5‐tri‐tert‐butylbenzene (mes*) derivative [Fe(mes*)(CO)2]•+ was fully characterized by XRD analysis, IR, NMR, cw‐EPR, Mössbauer spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry as the [Al(ORF)4]− (RF = C(CF3)3) salt. Chemical electronation, i.e., the single electron re… Show more
