Intermolecular N-N Coupling of a Dinitrosyl Iron Complex Induced by Hydrogen Bond Donors in the Secondary Coordination Sphere.

ABSTRACT: The intermolecular N-N coupling of NO in a dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC) induced by hydrogen bond donors in the secondary coordination sphere to form N₂O is reported. A family of complexes containing pendant anilines in the secondary coordination sphere were synthesized and characterized. Reduction of the {Fe(NO)₂}⁹ complex [Fe(^PhNHPDI)(NO)₂][BPh₄] (3) to the {Fe(NO)₂}¹⁰ Fe(^PhNHPDI)(NO)₂ (4) results in intermolecular N-N coupling to form N₂O. Similar reactions of the control {Fe(NO)₂}⁹ complex [Fe(^PhNMePDI)(NO)₂][BPh₄] (7), which does not have H-bonding groups in the secondary coordination spher
