Abstract
Novel iron complexes bearing both cyclopentadienone and N-heterocyclic carbene ancillary ligands were obtained by a straightforward synthesis from Fe2(CO)9. The preparation represents a rare example of silver transmetallation involving iron. The reaction is general and occurs in the presence of variously functionalized NHC and cyclopentadienones.Keywords
