Three-Coordinate Iron(II) Dialkenyl Compound with NHC Ligation: Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity
文摘
The reaction of [(IPr2Me2)2FePh2] with PhC鈮Ph furnished a three-coordinate iron(II) dialkenyl complex, [(IPr2Me2)Fe(蟽-CPh鈺怌Ph2)2] (1, IPr2Me2 = 1,3-diisopropyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene), that represents a rare example of isolable low-coordinate iron alkenyl complexes with a high-spin ground state. Complex 1 was characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, solution magnetic susceptibility measurement, M枚ssbauer spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction study, and elemental analyses. A reactivity study revealed the reactions of 1 with PhCH2Cl to produce cross-coupling product Ph2C鈺怌PhCH2Ph (2), with [Cp2Fe][BArF4] to yield Ph2C鈺怌Ph鈥揅Ph鈺怌Ph2 (3), and with CO, 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide, and phenyl azide to produce novel iron(0) and iron(II) complexes 4鈥?b>6 bearing triphenylvinyl-derived ligands. These transformations demonstrated the high reactivity of the low-coordinate iron alkenyl complex.
