Application

Iron(0) pentacarbonyl can be used:

• As an iron source to synthesize Fe-doped thin TiO₂ films.
• As a ligand to synthesize complexes of gold(I) and Fe(CO)₅, silver and Fe(CO)₅.

Reactant for:

• Addition reactions
• Decomposition via photolysis
• Preparation of magnetic Fe onion-like fullerene micrometer-sized particles of narrow size distribution via thermal decomposition
• Preparation of a heptanuclear iron carbonyl cluster used in catalytic hydrosilane reduction of carboxamides

• Precursor for preparation of Fe nanoparticles for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under highly basic conditions
