%X The preparation and characterization of a series of divalent and
trivalent iron complexes
that incorporate the amidodiphosphine ligand
N(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2
are reported. Mononuclear,
tetrahedral complexes of the type
FeX[N(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2],
where X = Cl, Br, have been
prepared; magnetic susceptibility studies indicate that these are
high-spin d6 systems. The
preparation of Fe(II) alkyls of the formula
FeR[N(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2]
was examined; small
alkyl substituents such as R = Me or CH2Ph were
found to be thermally unstable and, thus,
not isolable; however, for R = CH2SiMe3
and CH(SiMe3)2, room-temperature stable,
yellow,
paramagnetic solids could be obtained. The reaction of
FeCl[N(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2]
with NaCp·DME generates the thermally stable, diamagnetic complex
Fe(η5-C5H5)[N(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2].
The corresponding Fe(III) derivative
FeX2[N(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2]
could be prepared in high
yield by direct reaction of the
LiN(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2
ligand precursor with either FeCl3 or
FeBr3. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility
studies indicate that
FeBr2[N(SiMe2CH2PPh2)2] is an example of a
spin-admixed system (S = 3/2 and
5/2 spin states).
