Synthesis, Properties, and Electrochemistry of bis(iminophosphorane)pyridine Iron(II) Pincer Complexes

Résumé

Iron derivatives have emerged as valuable catalysts for a variety of transformations, as well as for biological and photophysical applications, and iminophosphorane can be considered an ideal ligand scaffold for modulating electronic and steric parameters in transition metal complexes. In this report, we aimed to synthesize dichloride and dibromide iron(II) complexes supported by symmetric bis(iminophosphorane)pyridine ligands, starting from readily available ferrous halides. The ease of synthesis of this class of ligands served to access several derivatives with distinct electronic and steric properties imparted by the phosphine moiety. The ligands and the resulting iron(II) complexes were characterized by $^{31}$P and $^1$H NMR spectroscopy and DART or ESI mass spectrometry. While none of these iron(II) complexes could be characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, suitable crystals of a µ-O bridged dinuclear iron complex bearing an iminophosphorane ligand were obtained, confirming a κ$^3$ binding motif. The bis(iminophosphorane)pyridine ligands in the obtained iron(II) complexes are labile, as demonstrated by their facile substitution by terpyridine. Cyclic voltammetry studies revealed that the oxidation of bis(iminophosphorane)pyridine iron(II) complexes to iron(III) species is quasi-reversible, suggesting the strong thermodynamic stabilization of the iron(III) center imparted by the σ-donating iminophosphorane ligands.
