The molecular structure of 1‐h 1 : 1,2‐h 2 ‐ trans ‐2‐bromovinyl‐ μ ‐bromo‐bis(tricarbonyliron) (Fe‐Fe), Fe 2 Br 2 C 8 O 6 H 2 , has been determined from 1970 absorption‐corrected diffractometer intensity data by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined anisotropically by least‐squares methods to a final R‐value of 6.07%, including anomalous‐dispersion corrections. The molecular framework consists of two distorted octahedral Fe(CO) 3 moieties linked together by a slightly asymmetric bromine bridge, an Fe‐Fe bridge (2.525 Å) and a π ‐bonded bromovinyl group. The bonding features of the organic ligand suggest the formation of a 1‐ferra‐ π ‐allyl system. Within the irontricarbonyl fragments, strong trans effects are observed. Cell data are: a = 9.373(4) b = 23.716(12) c = 6.671(4) Å β = 113.96(4)°, Z = 4. Space group Cc (No. 9). A mechanism for the formation of the compound is suggested.
