Abstract
Size-selected Fe 4 + was co-condensed with excess CO at low temperatures, resulting in the formation of a previously unknown binary iron carbonyl. Based on its FT-IR spectrum and comparison with isoelectronic congeners, the new species is proposed to be Fe 4(CO) 14, with a (distorted) tetrahedrally disposed central iron cluster core, three terminal COs on each iron and two doubly bridging carbonyls connecting opposing iron–iron bonds. However, the structure determination is not definitive. The UV–visible absorption spectrum shows two absorption bands centered at 277 and 305 nm.
