Abstract
Various tetracarbonylferrates including potassium tetracarbonylhidrido-, tetramethylammonium tetracarbonylhydrido-, disodium or dipotassium tetracarbonyl-ferrate can be prepared from pentacarbonyliron and bases or reducing agents by different methods. All these ferrates are widely used as effective reducing and carbonylating agents in organic synthesis.
Several reactions of dieneirontricarbonyls are also described.
