Iron dodecacarbonyl

black powder or crystals

Eliminates sulfur from substituted thiophene complexes, leading to ferroles. Access to new areas of organometallic chemistry is promising using the reaction of Fe₃(CO)₁₂ with tellurium-nitrogen heterocycles such as benzoisotellurazole.

It usually contains 10% by weight of MeOH as stabiliser. This can be removed by keeping it in a vacuum at 0.5mm for at least 5hours. It can be sublimed slowly at high vacuum and is soluble in organic solvents. [Landesberg et al.
