Abstract

Reaction of the 6π-electron aromatic four-membered heterocycle (IPr)2C2P2 (1) (IPr=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene) with [Fe2CO9] gives the neutral iron tricarbonyl complex [Fe(CO)3-η3-{(IPr)2C2P2}] (2). Oxidation with two equivalents of the ferrocenium salt, [Fe(Cp)2](BArF24), affords the dicationic tricarbonyl complex [Fe(CO)3-η4-{(IPr)2C2P2}](BArF24)2 (4). The one-electron oxidation proceeds under concomitant loss of one CO ligand to give the paramagnetic dicarbonyl radical cation complex [Fe(CO)2-η4-{(IPr)2C2P2}](BArF24) (5). Reduction of 5 allows the preparation of the neutral dicarbonyl complex [Fe(CO)2-η4-{(IPr)2C2P2}] (6). An analysis by various spectroscopic techniques (57Fe Mössbauer, EPR) combined with DFT calculations gives insight into differences of the electronic structure within the members of this unique series of iron carbonyl complexes, which can be either described as electron precise or Wade–Mingos clusters.
