Treatment of K[Cp*Fe(CO) 2 ] (Cp* = η 5 -C 5 Me 5 ) with ClSiMe 2 NR 2 (R = Me, Et, i Pr, Ph) in THF afforded Cp*(CO) 2 -Fe(CH 2 ) 4 OSiMe 2 NR 2 accompanied with ring-opening and incorporation of a THF molecule between iron and silicon atoms. On the other hand, reactions between Li[Cp*Fe(CO) 2 ] and ClSiMe 2 NR 2 in diethyl ether (for R = Me, Et), or in toluene in the presence of N,N,NЈ,NЈ-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) (for R = i Pr, Ph) afforded the corresponding Cp*(CO) 2 FeSiMe 2 NR 2 (R = Me, Et, i Pr, Ph), where the anionic complex was freshly prepared by treatment of Cp*(CO) 2 FeH with n-BuLi. In the case of the reaction of Li[Cp*Fe(CO) 2 ] with ClSiMe 2 NPh 2 , although the formation of the diphenylamino derivative Cp*(CO) 2 FeSiMe 2 NPh 2 was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, purification of the product was unsuccessful. Subsequently, the exclusive formation of Cp*(CO) 2 FeSiMe 2 NPh 2 was achieved by means of irradiation of Cp*(CO) 2 FeMe and HSiMe 2 NPh 2 in toluene.
