We report the solvent-dependent dynamics of carbonyl site exchange for Fe(CO)3(η(4)-norbornadiene) (FeNBD) in a series of linear and nonlinear alkanes. The barrier to exchange is very low (∼1.5 kcal/mol), and the resulting carbonyl dynamics are rapid enough to lead to
2-Methylpentane (isohexane). CAS# 107-83-5.
