The title compounds were prepared by treating Fe(PR(3))(2)Cl-2 or Fe(R(2)P(CH2)(n)PR(2))Cl-2 with allylmagnesium chloride. Some of them were also made by reaction of Fe(PR(3))(2)Cl-2 with isopropylmagnesium chloride, or with active-magnesium and allyl chloride, or by reaction between tris(eta(3)-allyl)iron and bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane. The new compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and shown to be formed as a mixture of two isomers that differ in the mutual arrangement of the two allyl groups. The reactions of the bis(allyl)iron compounds with 1,3-dienes were studied: complexes containing eta(4)-1,3-C4H6, eta(4)-1-C3H5C4H5 or eta(5)-l-ethylcyclohexadienyl groups were isolated from the reaction with 1,3-butadiene. The reaction between (eta(3)-C3H5)(2)Fe((Pr2PC2H4PPr)-Pr-i-Pr-i(2)) and 1,3-cyclohexadiene gave (eta(5)-cyclohexadienyl)Fe((Pr2PC2H4PPr2)-Pr-i-Pr-i)H.
[(η<sup>5</sup>-C<sub>5</sub>Me<sub>5</sub>)Fe(Ph<sub>2</sub>PCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>PPh<sub>2</sub>)][SO<sub>3</sub>CF<sub>3</sub>], a Stable 16-Electron Complex with a Coordinating Counteranion and without Agostic Interaction: The Dramatic Role of a Trivial Methylene Group
The iron chloro complex Cp*(dppp)FeCl (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, dppp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane; 2) was prepared from FeCl2(dppp) and Cp*Li in 85% yield. The air-stable compound 2 was characterized by IR-FT, H-1, P-31, and C-13 NMR, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and X-ray crystal analysis. The experimental data indicate that this complex possesses the same electronic properties as its homologue Cp*(dppe)FeCl (dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane; 2'), but shorter distances between the chlorine atom and the hydrogen atoms of the dppp ligand give rise to through-space interactions. The hydride 3 was obtained by treatment of the chloro derivative 2 with LiAlH4 (95%). The changes in the Fe-H bond stretching and redox potential induced by replacement of dppe by dppp is in agreement with the existence of two conformers for the iron hydrides 3 and 3'. The 16-electron species [Cp*(dppp)Fe] [OSO2CF3] (4[OTf]) is obtained by treatment of 3 with methyl triflate in diethyl ether (82%). The pseudo-C-2upsilon conformation of 4[OTf] is established by an X-ray analysis. Complex 4[OTf] possesses a triplet ground state, as shown by the magnetic susceptibility measurements, 1H NMR, and Mossbauer spectroscopy. The UV-vis data obtained for 4[OTf] and its homologue 4'[PF6] suggest that the increase of the bite angle of the bis-phosphine should produce a decrease of the HOMO-LUMO gap of the triplet ground state with a pseudo-C-2upsilon symmetry.

The heating of a mixture of 14-e [Ph2P(CH2)(n)PPh2]FeCl2 (n = 3 or 2) with the [K](+) salt of the [nido-7,8-C2B9H12](-) mono-anion under gentle reflux in benzene affords either the paramagnetic (17-electron) complex [3,3-(dppp)-3-Cl-closo-3,1,2-FeC2B9H11] isolated in 15% yield or a mixture of the paramagnetic complex [3,3-(dppe)-3-Cl-closo-3,1,2-FeC2B9H11] (46% yield) and the diamagnetic complex [commo-8,8'-mu-(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)-3,3'-Fe1,2-C2B9H10}(2)] (10% yield). All three novel ferracarboranes were characterized by spectroscopic (EPR or NMR) data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. (C) 2013 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
