Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of formula Ia [R.sup.1 FeR.sup.2' ].sup.⊕.sub.q [LQ.sub.m ].sup.q⊖(Ia), wherein R 1 is a π-arene, R 2' is an anion of a π-arene, L is a divalent to heptavalent metal or non-metal, Q is a halogen atom, q is an integer from 1 to 3 and m is an integer corresponding to the valency of L+q, said process comprises reacting an uncharged π-complex of the formula IIIa [(R.sup.2').sub.2 Fe] (IIIa) with a πarene R 1 is in the presence of Al and a Lewis-acid followed by treatment with an acid or a salt of an acid of the anion [LQ m ] q- , the improvement consisting essentially of using TiCl 4 as a Lewis-acid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
In the process for the preparation of a salt of an iron complex of the formula: [R.sup.1 FeR.sup.2' ].sup.+.sub.q [LQ.sub.m ].sup.q- wherein R 1 is a π-arene; R 2' is an anion of a π-arene; L is a divalent to heptavalent metal or non-metal; Q is a halogen atom; q is 1, 2, or 3; and m is the sum of q and the valency of L; in which an uncharged π-complex of the formula: [R.sup.2' FeR.sup.2' ] is allowed to react with a π-arene R 1 in the presence of aluminum and a Lewis acid and the reaction product is treated with a source of the anion [LQ m ] q- , the improvement which comprises employing an effective amount up to a one molar excess of the Lewis acid titanium tetrachloride per mol of said uncharged π-complex.
