Abstract
Reaction of a {Fe(NO)3}10 trinitrosyl iron complex with a mononuclear {Fe(NO)2}10 dinitrosyl iron complex furnishes a dinuclear dinitrosyl iron complex, [(NO)2(IMes)Fe(μ-η2-FBF3)Fe(IMes)(NO)2] (3) (IMes = 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals an unprecedented μ-η2-FBF3- bridge that links two [Fe(NO)2] motifs, giving an Fe….Fe separation of 3.45 Å. Nonclassical C─H…F contacts (3.21 - 3.61 Å) between the mesityl methyl groups of the IMes and the nonbridging fluorine atom cradle the anion and create a pseudo-tridentate environment that stabilizes the mixed-valent core. Infrared spectroscopy exhibits four ν(NO) bands at 1778, 1736, 1715, and 1682 cm-1, inferring the presence of two electronically different {Fe(NO)2} units, whereas 77 K EPR spectroscopy gives a rhombic signal with gavg = 2.109, diagnostic of an s = 1/2 species in complex 3.
