A cyclooctatrienone complex of diiron hexacarbonyl
نویسنده
چکیده
In the title compound, [μ-(2,6,7-η:3,4,5-η)-cycloocta-2,4,6-trienone]bis-(tri-carbonyl-iron)(Fe-Fe), [Fe2(C8H8O)(CO)6], the diiron hexa-carbonyl moiety has a sawhorse arrangement, with the OC-Fe-Fe-CO fragment forming the horizontal bar of the horse, and the other four carbonyl groups the legs. The Fe-Fe distance is 2.795 (2) Å. Each Fe atom is also bonded to three C atoms of the cyclo-octa-trienone ring. One Fe atom forms a σ-bond with one ring C atom, with Fe-C = 2.109 (2) Å, and also a metal-olefin π-bond with two C atoms on the other side of the ring, with Fe-C distances of 2.238 (2) and 2.236 (3) Å. The second Fe atom forms a η(3)-allyl bond with three other ring atoms, with Fe-C bond lengths of 2.158 (2), 2.062 (2), and 2.123 (3) Å. Counting the π- and π-allyl inter-actions as one bond, the coordinations of the Fe atoms can, respectively, be approximated as octa-hedral and trigonal bipyramidal.

On the structure of a proposed mixed-valent analogue of the diiron subsite of [FeFe]-hydrogenase.
We show that a dinuclear assembly apparently providing the first example of a synthetic molecule exhibiting key features of the diiron subsite of [FeFe] hydrogenase, viz. CO-bridging of a coordinatively unsaturated, dithiolate-bridged mixed-valence diiron centre, is in fact a diamagnetic tetranuclear complex.

The composition of a (μ-oxo)diiron(III) complex coordinated by tris[(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy)pyridyl-2-methyl]amine (R(3)TPA) ligands was investigated. Characterization using a variety of spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography indicated that the reaction of iron(III) perchlorate, sodium hydroxide, and R(3)TPA affords [Fe(2)(μ-O)(μ-OH)(R(3)TPA)(2)](ClO(4))(3) (2) rather than the previous...
