It is prepared by the reaction of Fe2(CO)9 with benzylideneacetone.[2] The compound is characterized by IR bands at 2065, 2005, and 1985 cm−1 (cyclohexane solution).

(bda)Fe(CO)3 reacts with Lewis bases to give adducts without displacement of the bda.[3]

Another popular source of Fe(CO)3 is Fe2(CO)9. Alternatively, Fe(CO)3(cyclooctene)2 is highly reactive, the trade-off being that it is thermally sensitive. Imine derivatives of cinnamaldehyde, e.g. C6H5CH=CHC(H)=NC6H5, also form conveniently reactive Fe(CO)3 adducts, which have been shown to be superior in some ways to (bda)Fe(CO)3.[4]

gollark: That isn't national law but international, although the policy affects both. It's not relevant, though, as the superseding of it by itself does not affect it.
gollark: PotatOS is not at present operated as a nation.
gollark: It doesn't, because that would be wrong.
gollark: You mean this national law, which the PotatOS Privacy Policy™ supersedes in all circumstances.
gollark: Interesting, but irrelevant. Using ideatic transducers, we converted you to a country, making this a matter of national law, which the policy affects.
