In Search of Further Iron Compounds

The researchers then replaced the duren with other molecules and produced various iron(I) compounds, according to the report. These compounds were then analyzed using X-ray structure analysis, spectroscopic procedures and magnetic measurement methods. In an initial catalytic test, the experts were also able to prove that an active iron catalyst can be formed from the new compound. The result shows that iron(I) can be better prepared for catalysis and used in a more controlled manner than before. The new iron(I) compound therefore creates a basis for further applications. Researchers can now use this knowledge to examine more systematically which variants are suitable for certain catalytic reactions, as the KIT emphasizes. In the long term, the KIT approach should contribute to replacing precious metals with iron in industrial applications.
