Abstract
In this work we report a series of four-coordinate organoiron(II) complexes in a sulfur-rich ligand environment. The high-spin, S = 2, compounds [PhTttBu]Fe(R) (R = Et, Ph, Mes, Bn, CH2SiMe3) (Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2; Bn = CH2C6H5) [PhTttBu]− = (phenyltris((tert-butylthio)methyl)borate) bearing an anionic tripodal thioether ligand were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Exposure of [PhTttBu]Fe(R) (R = Me, Et, Ph, CH2SiMe3) to 1 atm of CO afforded diamagnetic, six-coordinate complexes [PhTttBu]Fe(CO)2(R). The carbonylation of [PhTttBu]Fe(R) (R = Bn, Mes) formed two Fe products: [PhTttBu]Fe(CO)2(R), and a five-coordinate, low-spin, S = 1/2, [PhTttBu]Fe(CO)2, the latter due to homolytic Fe–C bond cleavage.
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
