Preparation and reactions
editIt is prepared by the reaction of molecular iodine with iron pentacarbonyl, following a procedure first reported by Hieber and Wirschung in 1940:[2]
- Fe(CO)5 + I2 → FeI2(CO)4 + CO
Iron tetracarbonyl diiodide reacts with a variety of Lewis bases with displacement of one or two CO ligands.[3]
