Abstract

Nucleophilic attack of CN- on bicyclo[3.2.1]octadienyl-, bicyclo[3.2.2]- nonadienyl-, and 6,7-benzobicyclo[3.2.2]nonadienyliron tricarbonyl tetrafluoroborates, results in mixed-type complexes containing both σ and π-allyl bonds. The cyano group in the products is located exo to the bicyclic ring. In contrast, the three cations react smoothly with I-; carbon monoxide is displaced to give iron complexes containing covalently-bound halogen.
