Abstract

The (cyclohexadienyl)iron complex Cp*Fe(η5-C6H7) obtained by a reaction of the cation [Cp*Fe(η6-C6H6)]+ with LiAlH4 reacts with HBF4·Et2O or TfOH in MeCN to afford the acetonitrile cation [Cp*Fe(MeCN)3]+ in a high yield. The structure of complex Cp*Fe(η5-C6H7) was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.
