Nonheme Mononuclear and Dinuclear Iron(II) and Iron(III) Fluoride Complexes and Their Fluorine Radical Transfer Reactivity.

ABSTRACT: The nonheme iron(II) complexes containing a fluoride anion, Fe^II(BNPA^Ph2O)(F) (1) and [Fe^II(BNPA^Ph2OH)(F)(THF)](BF₄) (2), were synthesized and structurally characterized. Addition of dioxygen to either 1 or 2 led to the formation of a fluoride-bridged, dinuclear iron(III) complex [Fe₂^III(BNPA^Ph2O)₂(F)₂(μ-F)]⁺ (4), which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, ¹H NMR, and elemental analysis. An iron(II)(iodide) complex, Fe^II(BNPA^Ph2O)(I) (3), was prepared and reacted with O₂ to give the mononuclear complex cis-Fe^III(BNPA^Ph2O)(OH)(I) (5).
