Bis(acetylacetonato)iron(II) is a coordination complex of iron with the formula Fe(C5H7O2)2. It can be prepared by reacting iron(II) chloride with 2,4-pentanedione in presence of piperidine.
Reactions
Bis(acetylacetonato)iron(II) reacts with lithium bis(hydropentalenyl)iron to afford green 2-, a quadruple-decker complex.
It reacts with Li2Pn(TMEDA)x (Pn = permethylpentalene) to yield purple-black Fe2Pn2.
