1.Study has been made of the interaction of chromium and iron vapors with toluene, mesitylene, and durol on liquid-nitrogen cooled surfaces. IR spectroscopy has been used to confirm the low-temperature formation of previously unknown bisarene iron (0) complexes. Decomposition temperatures have been determined for these compounds.2.The fact that the skeletal vibration frequencies of the various bisarene chromium complexes were essentially identical suggests that the strength of the metal-ligand bond increases as more and more methyl substituents are introduced into the benzene ring.
