ABSTRACT: Several new coordinatively unsaturated iron(II) complexes of the types [Fe(EN-iPr)X2] (E = P, S, Se; X = Cl, Br) and [Fe(ON-iPr)2X]X containing bidentate EN ligands based on N-(2-pyridinyl)aminophosphines as well as oxo, thio, and seleno derivatives thereof were prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetization studies confirmed their high-spin nature with magnetic moments very close to 4.9 μ B, reflecting the expected four unpaired d-electrons in all these compounds. Stable low-spin carbonyl complexes of the types [Fe(PN-iPr)2(CO)X]X (X = Cl, Br) and cis-CO,cis-Br-[Fe(PN-iPr)(CO)2X2] (X = Br) were obtained by reacting cis-Fe(CO)4X2 with the stronger PN donor ligands, but not with the weaker EN donor ligands (E = O, S, Se). Furthermore, the reactivity of [Fe(PN-iPr)X 2] toward CO was investigated by IR spectroscopy. Whereas at room temperature no reaction took place, at −50 °C [Fe(PN-iPr)X2] added readily CO to form, depending on the nature of X, the mono- and dicarbonyl complexes [Fe(PN-iPr)(X)2(CO)] (X = Cl) and [Fe(PN-iPr)(CO)2X2] (X = Cl, Br), respectively. In the case of X = Br, two isomeric dicarbonyl complexes, namely, cis-CO,trans-Br-[Fe(PN-iPr)(CO)2Br2] (major species) and cis-CO,cis-Br-[Fe(PN-iPr)(CO)2Br2] (minor species), are formed. The addition of CO to [Fe(PN-iPr)X 2] was investigated in detail by means of DFT/B3LYP calculations. This study strongly supports the experimental findings that at low temperature two isomeric low-spin dicarbonyl complexes are formed. For kinetic reasons cis,trans-[Fe(PN-iPr)(CO)2Br2] releases CO at elevated temperature, re-forming [Fe(PN-iPr)Br2], while the corresponding cis,cis isomer is stable under these conditions.



substrates are iron(II)−heme systems. The strong binding of CO to iron in hemoglobin, which renders the molecule incapable of absorbing oxygen, is particularly noteworthy.1 In recent years, however, the study of nonheme iron carbonyl compounds has increased since it was discovered that the FeCO moiety is present in the active site of hydrogenases, making it the first time that carbon monoxide coordination has been observed to occur in Nature.2 Another aspect of studying nonheme Fe(II) carbonyl compounds is to obtain insights into their electronic features that allow the coordination and functionalization of more challenging substrates, such as dinitrogen in the iron-catalyzed nitrogen fixation process3 or dihydrogen in [Fe]-hydrogenases4 such as the mono iron hydrogenase ([Fe]-H2ase).5 Notwithstanding this, such studies are important for the development of more environmentally friendly and sustainable reactions.

INTRODUCTION The reactivity of transition metal complexes toward small molecules is an increasingly important topic in organometallic chemistry. With energy prices on the rise and limited supplies of fossil fuels, transformations that involve incorporating small molecules such as N2, H2, CO2, or CO into complex chemicals can prove valuable in developing more sustainable chemistry. In order to achieve more efficient processes, it is important to understand the bonding and coordination properties of transition metals to such small molecules. This is typically done by examining the interactions of specific ligands with specific metal centers in different oxidation and spin states. In this regard, an important small molecule is carbon monoxide. In combination with iron, it is linked to a number of processes in industrial chemistry, from the water−gas shift reaction that converts it to carbon dioxide and hydrogen to the Fischer− Tropsch reaction, in which it is incorporated into liquid linear hydrocarbons. In addition, carbon monoxide coordination to iron plays an important role in Nature. Perhaps the best known © 2011 American Chemical Society

the most abundant transition metal in Earth's crust, essentially nontoxic, inexpensive, and ubiquitously available. Accordingly, such investigations will be important for the rational design of well-defined iron catalysts. Surprisingly there is a large range in reactivity of iron complexes toward CO.6 In many cases iron fragments bind CO very strongly, others reversibly, and others not at all. Substrate binding requires not only a formal vacant coordination site, i.e., a coordinatively unsaturated (≤16e) species, but also an accessible empty orbital. In contrast to related second- and third-row transition metals, coordinatively unsaturated iron complexes are usually high-spin species where orbitals for substrate binding are half-occupied or empty and high-lying. Moreover, both geometry and coordination number will be important to determine the success of the reaction, the key factor being the overall ligand field of the ensemble of ligands in the reactant. We have recently reported7 that the 16e high-spin complexes [Fe(PNP)X2] readily add CO to afford, depending on the reaction conditions, either cis-[Fe(PNP)(X2)CO] or trans[Fe(PNP)(X2)CO] (PNP are tridentate pincer-type ligands based on 2,6-diaminopyridine and 2,6-diaminopyrimidine8). These transformations are accompanied by color and spin-state changes. CO binding is fully reversible in these cases upon heating under vacuum. As an extension of this work, we report here a combined synthetic, structural, spectroscopic, and DFT computational study aimed at exploring and understanding the reactivity of a series of new high-spin 14e and 16e iron(II) complexes toward carbon monoxide. The iron complexes described here feature bidentate heterodifunctional EN ligands (Chart 1) where the ligand field strengths qualitatively follow the order ON-iPr < SN-iPr ≈ SeN-iPr < PN-iPr.

The analogous bromide complexes [Fe(PN-iPr)Br2] (5b) and [Fe(PN-tBu)Br2] (6b) were obtained in similar fashion by straightforward complexation of the respective free PN ligands with anhydrous ferrous dibromide (90% and 82% yields). On the other hand, the same reaction with ON-iPr (2) proceeded differently, affording cationic pentacoordinated complexes of the type [Fe(ON-iPr)2Cl]Cl (7a) and [Fe(ON-iPr)2Br]Br (7b) in 96% and 81% yield, respectively, where two ON-iPr ligands are coordinated (Scheme 2). The formation of 7 is independent Scheme 2

of whether 1 or 2 equiv of ligand is used. However, in the first case substantial amounts of FeX2 remained unreacted. There was no evidence for the formation of tetracoordinate [Fe(ONiPr)X2]. With the ligands SN-iPr (3) and SeN-iPr (4), in analogy to the PN ligands 1a and 1b, the tetrahedral complexes [Fe(SN-iPr)Cl2] (8a), [Fe(SN-iPr)Br2] (8b), and [Fe(SeNiPr)Cl2] (9) were obtained in isolated yields up to 83% (Scheme 3). All complexes are thermally robust, white to pale Scheme 3

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION yellow solids that are air sensitive in the solid state and particularly in solution. The magnetic properties of 5a, 7a, 7b, 8a, and 9 were investigated by SQUID magnetometry and Mössbauer spectroscopy. From the temperature dependence of the inverse molar magnetic susceptibility, which is well described by a Curie law above 50 K, iron effective magnetic moments of 4.96(1), 5.2(1), 5.1(1), 4.94(1), and 5.07(1) μ B, respectively, were obtained. These values are in good agreement with the effective magnetic moment of HS Fe(II) in the spin-only approximation (4.9 μ B). Figure 1 shows the thermal variation of the inverse molar magnetic susceptibility and χ mT for 5a. Mössbauer spectra of 5a, 7a, 7b, 8a, and 9 are depicted in Figure 2. Isomer shifts (IS) and quadrupole splittings (QS) obtained from the fitting procedure are shown in Table 1. All Mössbauer spectra are mainly resolved by one quadrupole doublet with IS ≥ 0.68 mm·s−1 and QS > 2 mms−1, which are characteristic of high-spin Fe(II) compounds9−11 in accordance

The quadrupole splitting arises from the interaction of the noncubic extranuclear electric fields (from ligand charges and iron valence electrons) with the quadrupole moment of the iron nucleus.9 From Table 1 it can be seen that larger QS values (around 3.0 mm·s−1) were found for the tetrahedral complexes, while lower QS values were obtained for the square-pyramidal ones. While similar quadrupole splittings were found for the tetrahedral complexes, the significant difference in the QS values for the square-pyramidal compounds may reflect a larger distortion from the square-pyramidal symmetry induced by the larger bromide when compared to the chloride ligand. On the other hand, the quadrupole splitting depends on the symmetry of the β electron, as the five α electrons lead to a half-occupation of the d levels. Indeed, the occupied β orbitals differ significantly upon going from the Cl to the Br derivative, while differences for the three tetrahedral complexes are much smaller (see Figure S1 in the Supporting Information). As expected from the magnetic data, complexes 5−9 display large paramagnetic shifted 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectra. However, at room temperature the line widths are relatively narrow, and thus, most ligand resonances could be readily assigned on the basis of integration and 1H−1H and 1 13 H, C{1H} COSY spectra. The only exception is the pyridine hydrogen atom H6, which could not be observed presumably due to the close proximity to the paramagnetic Fe center. As a representative example, the 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectra of 5a are depicted in Figure 3. The diastereotopic isopropyl
