You have asked for phd topics for organic, inorganic and organometallics, now you're asking what is the resultant of a reaction...I'm not questioning your ability as a lab technician but I will question your ability to do research and to think through a problem on your own. – Casey Jun 22 at 22:46
I agree with Casey on this one. This site is not for posting homework questions. But I will answer this one. – quintus Jun 23 at 5:22
If your homework questions are answered, I would ask that you vote the answer either up or down or as the desired answer! At least we will know if we were correct or on the right lines. Thank you – quintus Jun 23 at 16:59
To follow up with quintus, if it is homework mark it with a homework tag. – Casey Jun 23 at 21:48

I'm not sure but I would guess that you get an iron trihenylphosphine complex. Possibly octahedral with the PPh3 groups at the corner of a square plane and the chlorine atoms at the apexes. Have a look in Cotton and Wilkinson's book on inorganic chemistry. There you can find lots of info about transition metal complexes.
