Photoinduced bond oscillations in ironpentacarbonyl give delayed synchronous bursts of carbonmonoxide release
A. Banerjee, M. R. Coates, et al.
This study unveils the intricate dance of iron pentacarbonyl Fe(CO)5 as it undergoes photoexcitation, revealing fascinating metal-to-ligand charge-transfer dynamics. The research, conducted by Ambar Banerjee, Michael R. Coates, Markus Kowalewski, Hampus Wikmark, Raphael M. Jay, Philippe Wernet, and Michael Odelius, explores how synchronous Fe-C oscillations lead to the periodic release of CO molecules, driven by the underlying anti-bonding orbital characteristics.
