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
