Fe(iv) alkylidenes via protonation of Fe(ii) vinyl chelates and a comparative Mossbauer spectroscopic study.

ABSTRACT: Treatment of cis-Me₂Fe(PMe₃)₄ with di-1,2-(E-2-(pyridin-2-yl)vinyl)benzene ((bdvp)H₂), a tetradentate ligand precursor, afforded (bdvp)Fe(PMe₃)₂ (1-PMe₃) and 2 equiv. CH₄, via C-H bond activation. Similar treatments with tridentate ligand precursors PhCH[double bond, length as m-dash]NCH₂(E-CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CHPh) ((pipp)H₂) and PhCH[double bond, length as m-dash]N(2-CCMe-Ph) ((pipa)H) under dinitrogen provided trans-(pipp)Fe(PMe₃)₂N₂ (2) and trans-(pipvd)Fe(PMe₃)₂N₂ (3), respectively; the latter via one C-H bond activation, and a su
