Abstract

The carbonylation of neutral and cationic pyridine(diimine) iron neopentyl complexes was studied. While the addition of CO to (iPrPDI)FeCH2tBu resulted in the loss of the alkyl ligand to form (iPrPDI)Fe(CO)2 and free pyridine(diimine), the cationic variant underwent insertion and CO coordination to form a rare example of a low-spin pyridine(diimine)iron(II) organometallic complex. Prolonged exposure to an atmosphere of carbon monoxide resulted in migration of the acyl ligand to the 4-position of the pyridine in the tridentate chelate.
