Bichler, B., Glatz, M., Stöger, B., Mereiter, K., Veiros, L. F., & Kirchner, K. (2014). An iron(II) complex featuring κ3 and labile κ2-bound PNP pincer ligands - striking differences between CH2 and NH spacers. Dalton Transactions. https://doi.org/10.1039/C4DT01933D
Treatment of anhydrous FeCl2 with 2 equiv. of the pincer ligand PNP-Ph afforded the diamagnetic cationic octahedral complex [Fe(κ3-P,N,P-PNP)(κ2-P,N-PNP)Cl]+ featuring a κ2-P,N-bound PNP ligand. Preliminary reactivity studies revealed that the κ2-P,N-bound PNP ligand is labile reacting with CO to afford trans-[Fe(PNP-Ph)(CO)2Cl]+.
