The catalytic activity of the complex Fe(η6-CHT)(η4-COD), (CHT = 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene; COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene), 1, has been evaluated in some reference reactions such as the hydroformylation of 1-hexene and styrene and the cyclotrimerisation of a wide range of terminal and internal acetylenes. The title complex has been found to be a convenient catalytic precursor and it resulted more active than other iron catalysts in the investigated reactions.
