Abstract
Theoretical studies on the cyclopentadienyliron derivatives Cp 2Fe2(CN)n (Cp = η5-C 5H5; n = 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) indicate that high-spin species with terminal Cp rings and bridging cyanide ligands up to a maximum of two bridges are predicted to be the lowest energy structures, which are paramagnetic complexes. Cp2Fe2(CN)3 and Cp 2Fe2(CN)2 appear to be relatively stable with respect to dissociation of a cyanide ligand, while the binuclear derivatives Cp2Fe2(CN)n (n = 6, 5, 4, 3) are all more stable than the mononuclear fragments.
