Reduced iron (in presence of alumina and potassium oxide, and preferably also molybdenum oxide) reacts with cyclopentadiene in nitrogen at 300" to give 2 yellow compound C,, H,, Fe, m. p. 172-5-173", believed to be dicyclopentadienyliron. It sublimes above 100" without decomposition, is volatile in steam, and soluble in organic solvents. The formation of this compound proceeds only for 10-15 minutes, after which further reaction is only effected after careful oxidation and re-reduction of the iron. After being heated in a glass tube at 250" in nitrogen, and frequently as first prepared, the iron compound contains small amounts of adsorbed nitrogen which is sufficiently firmly held to give positive sodium-fusion tests for nitrogen. It has not been possible to use this property to make the material behave as a catalyst for ammonia formation.COMPOUNDS containing only carbon, hydrogen, and iron have not hitherto been described, and the direct replacement of hydrogen attached to carbon by iron would not be expected to be feasible. It has now been found that reduced iron, in the form of the well-known" doubly-promoted synthetic ammonia catalyst," can be made to react with cyclo-
