Abstract The organometallic compound, [Fe(C5H5)(CO)2]2, was oxidised to Fe(C5H5)(CO)2I and their infrared spectra were compared to show that there were bridging carbonyl ligands in the start material, but that they were absent in the product. Introduction Organometallic compounds are compounds that contain bonds between a metallic atom and a carbon atom. There are many applications of organometallic compounds which include use as catalysts (for example, the deuteration of organic compounds for use as NMR solvents is sometimes done by using […]
