Abstract:
(Cyclopentadienone)iron carbonyl complexes have recently received particular attention for their use as catalysts in hydrogenation or transfer hydrogenation reactions including the N-alkylation of amines with alcohols. This is due to their easy synthesis from simple and cheap materials, air and water stabilities, and the crucial metal-ligand cooperation giving rise to unique catalytic properties. Here, we report a Mössbauer spectroscopic and computational investigation of such a complex and its corresponding activated species for dehydrogenation and hydrogenation reactions. This study affords a deeper understanding of the species formed by the reaction with Me3NO and their distribution upon the added amount of an oxidant.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
