Debbie,
My comment was based from the reactivity of iron pentacarbonyl as a flammable liquid, etc.
Please look at the warnings, especially "Prevention" in the attached link.
When I was in graduate research, I always took a very cautious and measured approach when I was working with or around others who were working with boranes, carbonyls and other pyrophorics, explosive & shock sensitive, etc. chemicals. That why I stated the use of an explosion-proof laboratory hood.
All My Best,
John

I'm wondering what you meant by the phrase "explosion-proof laboratory hood." This brings to mind for me Class 1, Division 1 electrical utilities to the hood, installed in a space with a similarly protected electrical system.
Is that your intent?
Debbie
