Density functional theory studies show that the lowest energy C4F8Fe(CO)4 structure is not the very stable experimentally known ferracyclopentane isomer (CF2CF2CF2CF2)Fe(CO)4 obtained from Fe(CO)12 and tetrafluoroethylene. Instead isomeric (perfluoroolefin)Fe(CO)4 structures derived from perfluoro-2-butene, perfluoro-1-butene, and perfluoro-2-methylpropene are significantly lower energy structures by up to ∼17 kcal mol−1. However, the activation energies for the required fluorine shifts from one carbon to an adjacent carbon atom to form these (perfluoroolefin)Fe(CO)4 complexes from tetrafluoroethylene are very high (e.g., ∼70 kcal mol−1). Therefore the ferracyclopentane isomer (CF2CF2CF2CF2)Fe(CO)4, which does not require a fluorine shift to form from Fe3(CO)12 and tetrafluoroethylene, is the kinetically favored product. The lowest energy structures of the binuclear (C4F8)2Fe2(CO)n (n = 7, 6) derivatives have bridging perfluorocarbene ligands and terminal perfluoroolefin ligands.
