Much of the second year of the grant has been devoted to refinishing the preparative for the anions, CpFe(CO)(PPh/sub 3/)COO/sup -/M/sup +/ (M=Li, Na, K) and the corresponing calcium salt, and in the establishing the characteristic reactions of these compounds. All of the compounds have been isolated in good yields and characterized spectroscopically by IR(DRIFTS) and by /sup 1/H and /sup 13/C NMR. The IR spectral data indicate that each salt is obtained as a hydrate; /sup 1/H NMR data confirm that. To this point we have been unsuccessful in obtaining x-ray quality crystals from any of the salts (we are still trying). Preliminary communications regarding the improved preparation of CpFe(CO)(PPh/sub 3/)COOH and its potassim and lithium salts and some of the reactions of the salts have been published (or are in press). Reactions of the metallocarboxylate anions which have been studied to the present time are summarized.
