A metallaborane of novel structure, [(Cp*Mo)(2)B(3)H(3)Se(2){Fe(CO)(2)}(2){Fe(CO)(3)}(2)] (2; Cp* = η(5)-C(5)Me(5)), with tetracapped pentagonal bipyramidal geometry, isolated from the reaction of [(Cp*Mo)(2)B(4)H(4)Se(2)], 1 with [Fe(2)(CO)(9)]; the title compound exhibit an 11-vertex closo-cage geometry, having eight skeletal electron pairs (sep) and 98 valence electrons, appropriate for its ...

In the title hydrate, [Fe(2)Sn(C(5)H(5))(2)(OH)(2)(CO)(4)]·H(2)O, the central Sn atom is tetra-hedrally coordinated by two {Cp(CO)(2)Fe} fragments and two hydroxide groups. The [{Cp(CO)(2)Fe}(2)Sn(OH)(2)] and water mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bridges, giving two-dimensional arrays with 4.8(2) topology that stack along the c axis.

ABSTRACT In the present work, we have prepared a series of octahedral Fe(II) complexes of the type trans-[Fe(PNP)(CO)2Cl]+-PNP are tridentate pincer-type ligands based on 2,6-diaminopyridine. These complexes are formed irrespective of the size of the substituents at the phosphorus sites and whether cis-[Fe(PNP)(Cl2)(CO)] or trans-[Fe(PNP)(Cl2)(CO)] are reacted with CO in the presence of 1 equiv...

The effects of irradiation with 17 MeV electron beams and “‘Co y-rays on the magnetic flux of Nd-Fe-B and Sm-Co permanent magnets have been studied. At an electron dose of 2.1 X 10d3 C/cm’ (at an absorbed dose of 2.6 MGy), the magnetic flux loss of Nd-Fe-B is 9%, while the flux loss of Sm-Co is below 0.4% at a dose of 1.4 X 10B3 C/cm’. After remagnetization of the irradiated Nd-Fe-B sample the ...

New types of triple-decker complexes with an organo-substituted P5 middle-deck were synthesized by the reaction of [Cp*Fe(η4-P5R)]- (1a: R = CH2SiMe3; 1b: R = NMe2) with halogeno-bridged transition metal dimers [Cp'''MX]2 (M = Cr, Fe, Co, Ni; X = Cl, Br). By oxidation of [(Cp*Fe)(Cp'''Co)(μ,η4:3-P5CH2SiMe3)] 2a with [Cp2Fe][PF6], the cationic complex [(Cp*Fe)(Cp'''Co)(μ,η5:4-P5CH2SiMe3)]+ was i...

The effect of Cu on the reduction behavior and surface properties of supported and unsupported Fe-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalysts was investigated using in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in combination with ex situ bulk characterization. During exposure to 0.4 mbar CO-H(2) above 180 degrees C, the reduction of CuO to C...

The reaction of Fe(CO)(2)(NO)(2) and Ni(N(2)S(2)) (N(2)S(2) = N,N'-Bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-1,4-diazacycloheptane) by a single CO replacement yields [Ni(N(2)S(2))]Fe(NO)(2)(CO), while an excess of Fe(CO)(2)(NO)(2) leads to triply bridging thiolate sulphurs in a cluster of core composition Ni(2)S(4)Fe(3), lacking one Fe(NO)(2) unit to complete the adamantane-like structure. This structural type was ...

In the title compound, [Fe(H(2)O)(6)][FeBr(3)(CO)(3)](2), both Fe atoms have an octa-hedral coordination and the bromide carbonyl complex has a fac-stereochemistry. The [Fe(H(2)O)(6)](2+) octa-hedron has point symmetry and is slightly compressed along one O-Fe-O axis. The [FeBr(3)(CO)(3)](-) anion has point symmetry 1 and mean bond lengths of Fe-Br = 2.455 (5) Å and Fe-C = 1.809 (2) Å. The cati...
