Abstract

The preparation and characterization of iron(II) complexes containing the tripodal tetraphosphine ligand tris [2(dimethylphosphino)ethyl]phosphine, P(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₃ (PP₃, 1), are reported. The complex FeCl₂(PP₃) (2) was formed by the reaction of PP₃ with anhydrous iron(II) chloride. The complexes FeHCl(PP₃) (3) and FeH₂(PP₃) (4) were formed by the reaction of 2 with lithium aluminum hydride. Likewise, the complexes FeMeCl(PP₃) (5) and FeMe₂(PP₃) (6) were formed by the reaction of 2 with methyllithium or dimethylmagnesium. Reaction of 2 with CO afforded a mixture of isomeric carbonyl chloride complexes [Fe(CO)Cl(PP₂)]⁺ (7 and 8). Reaction of 2 with PPh₃ afforded [Fe(PPh₃)Cl(PP₃)]⁺ (9). The air-sensitive complexes 2-9 were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and 9 was characterized by X-ray crystallography. Crystals of 9 (BPh₄ salt), C₅₄H₆₅BClFeP₅, M 971.09, are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 13.246(3) Å, b = 30.314(2) Å, c= 14.338(2) Å,β= 100.92(2)°, Z = 4; R = 0.058.
