The complex was first prepared by heating iron pentacarbonyl with the diene.[2]

Iron(0) complexes of conjugated dienes have been extensively studied. In the butadiene series, (η2-C4H6)Fe(CO)4 and (η2:η2-C4H6)(Fe(CO)4)2 have been crystallized.[3] Many related complexes are known for substituted butadienes and related species. The species (η4-isoprene)iron tricarbonyl is chiral.[4]
