Iron Tricarbonyl Complexes Based on N,N'-Disubstituted Phenanthrenediimines

Abstract

The oxidative addition of N,N'-disubstituted phenanthrenediimines to iron carbonyls was studied. The reactions of acceptor phenanthrenediimines with Fe2(CO)9 give iron(I) tricarbonyl complexes with anion-radical forms of the ligands. The synthesized compounds were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy. The structures of the complex based on N,N'-bis(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)phenanthrenediimine and imidazol-2-one ligand was established by X-ray diffraction (XRD) (CIF files СCDC nos. 2173471 and 2173472, respectively).
