The thermal reaction of cis or trans 1,4-poly(butadiene) with iron carbonyls results in geometrical isomerization of the alkenyl moieties and formation of polymers containing conjugated diene) iron tricarbonyl units. In the course of our continuing studies of the formation of stable colloidal iron dispersions by thermal decomposition of metal carbonyls in the presence of functional polymers, some aspects of this work have been repeated. Our objective was to isolate the soluble organometallic polymer which was intermediate to particle nucleation and independently examine the intramolecular condensation of metal atoms to yield metal clusters and metal particles. In this paper, the structure of the intermediate obtained on thermolysis of an excess of FeCCO) in a dilute xylene solution of c/5-poly(butadiene) has been described.
