Interest in both metallocarboxylic acids and their conjugate bases derives from their proposed intermediacy in metal carbonyl catalyzed water gas shift (WGS) reactions. However, few of the acids and fewer of the anionic metallocarboxylate complexes have been characterized. Syntheses of the anionic complexes have resulted from either direct carbonation of a metal anion or deprotonation of a metallocarboxylic acid; in only a few cases has isolation been possible. The authors report here the isolation and characterization of M(FeCp(CO)(PPh/sub 3/)(CO/sub 2/)) (M = Li and K; Cp = eta-C/sub 5/H/sub 5/), their behavior toward electrophiles, and their thermolysis reactions.
