This paper contains an account, as promised, of a study of the physical and chemical properties of iron carbonyl, similar to that already communicated to the Society on the properties of the analogous compound of nickel,* to which this forms the sequel. The combination of iron and carbon monoxide was discovered by Drs. Mond and Quincke in 1891, and the resulting compound called iron pentacarbonyl was isolated (as a coloured liquid), and examined by Drs. Mond and Langer in the course of the same year.
