Dodecacarbonyltriiron, 96% (dry wt.), stab. with 5-10% methanol

Description

Reducing agent (reduces NO₂), catalyst for alkyne trimerization | CAS: 17685-52-8

It eliminates sulfur from substituted thiophene complexes, which leads to ferroles. Access to new areas of organometallic chemistry is promising using the reaction of Fe3(CO)12 with tellurium-nitrogen heterocycles such as benzoisotellurazole.
