Triiron Complex with N-Ferrocenyl Aminocarbyne Ligand Bridging a Diiron Core: DFT, Electrochemical, and Biological Insights.

ABSTRACT: The first N-ferrocenyl aminocarbyne complex, [Fe₂Cp₂(CO)₂(μ-CO){μ-CN(Me)(Fc)}]CF₃SO₃ ([2]CF₃SO₃), was synthesized with an 88% yield from [Fe₂Cp₂(CO)₄], isocyanoferrocene (CNFc), and methyl triflate. The synthesis proceeded through the intermediate formation of [Fe₂Cp₂(CO)₃(CNFc)], 1. Multinuclear NMR experiments revealed the presence of cis and trans isomers for [2]CF₃SO₃ in organic solvents, in agreement with DFT outcomes. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies demonstrated one reduction process occurring prevalently at the diiron core and one ox
