Photolabilisation of phosphine ligands bound to iron: Photofragmentation voltammetry analysis
Davies SG., Metzler MR., Watkins WC., Compton RG., Booth J., Eklund JC.
Photofragmentation volammetry is used to demonstrate directly the primary loss of P(Ar)3 from [(η5-C5H 5)Fe(CO)(PAr3)=C(NHMe)Me] + BF4- (Ar = phenyl 1 and p-toly 2) on irradiation with visible light. In contrast, no loss of carbon monoxide is observed.
