Abstract

{Oxidative carbonylation of Fe(CO)(5) in liquid SbF5 and a CO atmosphere, with either AsF5 or Cl-2 as external oxidizing agents, produces [Fe(CO)(6)][Sb2F11](2) in very high yield. The resulting off-white solid material is thermally stable (above 200 degrees C). The homoleptic carbonyl cation [Fe(CO)(6)](2+), the first of its type formed by a 3d-metal, is isostructural with [Ru(CO)(6)](2+) and [Os(CO)(6)](2+) which are obtained by reductive carbonylation of M(SO3F)(3)
