In the reaction of the [CpFe(CO)(2)](-) anion with pentafluorochlorobenzene, [CpFe(CO)(2)](2) and p-chloroperfluoropolyphenyls C6F5(C6F4)(n)-C6F4Cl (n=0-3) are formed alongside the expected chlorine substitution product [C6F5Fe(CO)(2)Cp]. The relative yield of these products depends on the ratio of initial reactants, solvent (THF ether, DMSO, MeCN), counterion (K+, K(+)18-crown-6, [(C6H5)(3)P=N=P(C6H5)(3)](+) [PPN+]) and temperature. The highest yield of [C6F5Fe(CO)(2)Cp] (approximate to 50%) was obtained in THF, with a slight excess of pentafluorochlorobenzene added to [CpFe(CO)(2)]K at room temperature. In the presence of proton donors rBuOH or PhCH(Et)CN the reaction does not yield [C6F5Fe(CO)(2)Cp] and p-chloroperfluoropolyphenyls at all; instead C6F5H and [CpFe(CO)(2)](2) are formed. This fact and other data point to the [C6F5](-) anion as the key intermediate in all of the observed transformations, among them the formation of [C6F5Fe(CO)(2)Cp]. The evidence from the use of radical traps (R2PH and PEt3) indicates that free radicals are not involved in the major reaction pathway. Halogen-metal exchange is proposed as the first step of the reaction mechanism. The subsequent competition between the possible reactions of the exchange intermediates, [CpFe(CO)(2)Cl] and [C6F5](-), is discussed to account for the highly variable ratio of the final products.
