Ultrafast Electron Diffraction of Transient [Fe(CO)_4]: Determination of Molecular Structure and Reaction Pathway
Abstract
The temporal diffraction–difference approach of the ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) technique was used to determine the molecular structure of the transient [Fe(CO)_4] (see picture) formed during the elimination of CO ligands from [Fe(CO)_5]. The results clearly show that the major product, up to 200 ps, is the transient [Fe(CO)_4] which is formed in the ^1A_1 state, rather than the ground ^3B_2 state.
