The bonding in the unprecedented complex [Cp*AlFe(CO)4] (depicted on the right) was investigated by quantum theoretical methods by using the model compound [CpAlFe(CO)4]. The strength of Al → Fe donor – acceptor bond, which is characteristic for this complex, is estimated to be about 50 kcal mol−1.
