A family of triphenylamido-amine ligands of the general stoichiometry L x H 3 = [R-NH-(2-C 6 H 4 )] 3 N (R = 4-t-BuPh (L 1 H 3 ), 3,5-t-Bu 2 Ph (L 2 H 3 ), 3,5-(CF 3 ) 2 Ph (L 3 H 3 ), CO-t-Bu (L 4 H 3 ) 3,5-Cl 2 Ph (L 5 H 3 ), COPh (L 6 H 3 ), CO-i-Pr (L 7 H 3 ), COCF 3 (L 8 H 3 ), i-Pr (L 9 H 3 )) has been synthesized and characterized, featuring a rigid triphenylamido-amine scaffold and an array of stereoelectronically diverse aryl, acyl and alkyl substituents (R). These ligands are deprotonated by potassium hydride in THF or DMA and reacted with anhydrous FeCl 2 to afford a series of ferrous complexes, exhibiting stoichiometric variation and structural complexity.
