Abstract
Reactions of ferrocene (C5H5)2Fe with halogenated fullerenes C60X n for X=F, Cl, Br andn = 15–39) yield non-stoichiometric solids with intense singlet Mössbauer spectra characteristic of Cp2Fe+ (where Cp=C5H5). The material isolated from reaction of Cp2Fe with C60Br24 exhibits two different iron environments and magnetic ordering temperatures of ≈ 14 K and between 4.6 and 1.32 K. These data are seen to be consistent with loss of bromine from the fullerene and formation of ferricenium tetrahaloferrate salts.
