SOLVENT EFFECTS ON SOLUTION STRUCTURE AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF LITHIUM AND MAGNESIUM SALTS OF TRANS-PHENYLACYLTRICARBONYL(TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE)IRON(-I) Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The solution structure of trans-Ph3PFe(CO)3C(O)Ph- as inferred from infrared spectroscopy varies with solvent and with cation. Direct evidence is presented for carbonyl oxygen-lithium cation interaction in diethyl ether whereas the ion pair is separated by adding small amounts of tetrahydrofuran or N,N-dimethylformamide. Stronger CO-M+ interaction is observed for M+ = MgCl+ in THF; this interaction may be interrupted by the addition of a solvent of higher dielectric constant such as DMF. 1974, American Chemical Society.
