The autocatalytic sonochemical reaction of Fe(CO)(5) decomposition in [BuMeIm][Tf(2)N] provides iron nanoparticles in higher yields than in tetralin. Such a difference is explained by the higher decomposition of the intermediate Fe(3)(CO)(12) according to the two-sites model of the sonochemical reactions and the specific properties of the ionic liquid.
