✦ Synopsis

The synthesis of a homogeneous series of cis bis substituted iron complexes is described.

These complexes which display the [M ]{[C(O)]

x R}{[C(O)) y R∞]} (x+y=0, 1, 2, 3, 4; x, y∏2) pattern are models for the study of carbon-carbon coupling processes including mono-and polycarbonylations. Their reactivity is reviewed and particularly that of bis alkoxycarbonyl, bis carbamoyl and metalla c ketoester iron compounds.
