Iron pentacarbonyl

Description:
Iron pentacarbonyl, with the CAS number 13463-40-6, is a chemical compound composed of iron and carbon monoxide, represented by the formula Fe(CO)5. It is a colorless, volatile liquid at room temperature and is known for its distinctive sweet odor. This compound is characterized by its coordination complex structure, where the iron atom is surrounded by five carbon monoxide ligands, forming a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Iron pentacarbonyl is highly reactive and can release carbon monoxide, making it toxic and hazardous to health. It is primarily used in organic synthesis and as a precursor in the production of various iron-containing materials. Additionally, it serves as a catalyst in certain chemical reactions. Due to its toxicity and potential environmental impact, handling iron pentacarbonyl requires strict safety precautions, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and proper ventilation. Its unique properties and reactivity make it an important compound in coordination chemistry and industrial applications.
