Iron(II) complexes based on electron-rich, bulky PNN- and PNP-type ligands
摘要:
Reaction of the PNN ligand ((2-(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)-6-diethylaminomethyl)pyridine) with I equiv. of anhydrous FeCl2 in THF results in the formation of (PNN)FeCl2 (1). The cationic complex [(PNN)Fe(THF)Cl](PF6) (2) was obtained by chloride abstraction from I with I equiv. of TlPF6. Similarly, the PNP-type complexes 3 and 4 were obtained from FeCl2 with I equiv. of t-Bu-PNP (2,6-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)pyridine) and i-Pr-PNP (2,6-bis(di-iso-propylphosphinomethyl)pyridine), respectively. Complexes 1 and 3 were characterized by X-ray diffraction and elemental analyses. In both structures the Fe(II) centers exhibit a distorted square pyramidal geometry comprising two chloride ligands and one tridentate PNN or PNP ligand. The magnetic properties of the paramagnetic complexes 1-4 are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The (PONOP)-P-tBu (2,6-bis(di-tert-butyl-phosphinito)pyridine) complexes of iron and cobalt, ((PONOP)-P-tBu)FeCl2 (1) and ((PONOP)-P-tBu)CoCl2 (2)) have been prepared. Both complexes are paramagnetic and the solid-state structures of 1 and 2 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Analogous Fe and Co complexes of the (PNP)-P-tBu (2,6-bis(di-tert-butyl-phosphinomethyl)pyridine) ligand (3 and 4, respectively) were prepared to allow comparison between the closely related pincer ligands in the hydrosilylation of carbonyl moieties. All four complexes were found to be catalytically active when treated with NaBEt3H, which was assumed to generate a metal-hydride species in-situ. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
