Instead of the expected carbon-carbon coupling into oxalates, thermolysis at 30 degreesC of the cis-bis(alkoxycarbonyl) monomers (CO)(4)Fe(CO2R)(2) (1) affords the novel trimetallic compounds [(CO)(3)Fe(mu,eta(2)-CO2R)(3)](2)Fe (R = Me (2a), t-Bu (2b), allyl (2c), 1,1'-dimethylallyl (2d)). As-shown by H-1 and C-13 NMR, these complexes 2, which can be described as a central Fe(II) surrounded by two [(CO)(3)Fe(CO2R)(3)](-) ligands, are paramagnetic. A Mossbauer study of 2a and 2d revealed that these complexes display a high-spin configuration of their central iron atom and a low-spin configuration of the two lateral iron atoms. The easy formation of these complexes 2 by reacting fac-[(CO)(3)Fe(CO2R)(3)](-) anions with FeCl2 suggests that formation of 2 by thermal evolution of I could occur via an associative mechanism, giving rise to the [(CO)(3)Fe(CO2R)(3)] pattern. Further thermolysis of 2 at 50 degreesC affords alcohols, Fe(CO)(5), carbon monoxide, and bis(alkyl carbonates).
