Carbon dioxide utilization in catalysis

A kinetic study has been made of the addition of halogenocarbons to alkenes in the presence of [Fe2(CO)4(η-C5H5)2] (I). The results, together with the results of cross-over addition reactions of a halogenocarbon mixture and cross-over studies on catalyst mixtures of I and [Fe2(CO)4(η-C5Me5)2] (II) have been interpreted in terms of a mechanism which involves catalysis by an intact dinuclear species, probably [Fe2(CO)3(η-C5R5)2], but which also involves free radical intermediates.
