In organoiron chemistry, a ferrole is a type of diiron complex containing the (OC)3FeC4R4 heterocycle that is pi-bonded to a Fe(CO)3 group. These compounds have Fe-Fe bonds (ca. 252 pm) and semi-bridging CO ligands (Fe-C distances = 178, 251 pm). They are typically air-stable, soluble in nonpolar solvents, and red-orange in color.[2]
Some ferroles react with tertiary phosphines to give the substituted flyover complex Fe2(CO)5(PR3)(C4R4CO).[5][6]
