Structure of the ferrole Fe2C4H4(CO)6.[1] Color scheme: red = O, gray = C, dark blue = Fe, white = H.
Not to be confused with Ferrule.
In organoiron chemistry, a ferrole is a type of diiron complex containing the (OC)3FeC4R4 heterocycle that is pi-bonded to a Fe(CO)3 group. These compounds have Fe-Fe bonds (ca. 252 pm) and semi-bridging CO ligands (Fe-C distances = 178, 251 pm). They are typically air-stable, soluble in nonpolar solvents, and red-orange in color.[2]
