Synthesis, Electronic Structure, and Catalytic Activity of Reduced Bis(aldimino)pyridine Iron Compounds: Experimental Evidence for Ligand Participation

Abstract: The two-electron reduction chemistry of the aryl-substituted bis(aldimino)pyridine iron dibromide, ((iPr)PDAI)FeBr(2) ((iPr)PDAI = 2,6-(2,6-(i)Pr(2)-C(6)H(3)-N═CH)(2)C(5)H(3)N), was explored with the goal of generating catalytically active iron compounds and comparing the electronic structure of the resulting compounds to the more well studied ketimine derivatives. Reduction of ((iPr)PDAI)FeBr(2) with excess 0.5% Na(Hg) in toluene solution under an N(2) atmosphere furnished the η(6)-arene complex, ((iPr)PDAI)F… Show more

“…Nonetheless, the N2ÀC6 distance is longer than that expected for a neutral aiminopyridine ligand (L 0 , Table 1) due to p backbonding from palladium. [19] The C ipso À C imine (C5 À C6) and C ipso À N pyridine (C5ÀN1) bond lengths fit well to those expected for aiminopyridine ligands in their oxidized neutral form (L 0 = bpi in this case).…”

“…This is due to strong -back bonding from thecoordinated palladium. [ 19 ] The C ipso C imine (C5-C6) and C ipso N pyridine (C5-N1) bond distances fit well to those expected for -iminopyridine ligands in their oxidized neutral form (L 0 = bpi in this case). Table 1.…”

“…Nonetheless, some caution should be taken when comparing these bond distances (Table 1) because of the relevant perturbation introduced by the additional -C=N imine coordination. [19] Unfortunately, the trinuclear complex 5 proved to be highly insoluble, preventing us from properly studying it electronic structure in solution experimentally. Nonetheless, variable temperature SQUID measurements on powered polycrystalline samples of 5 revealed it to be diamagnetic.…”
