Mild oxidants such as [Fe(C(5)Me(5))(2)](+) accelerate the activation of H(2) by [Fe(2)[(SCH(2))(2)NBn](CO)(3)(dppv)(PMe(3))](+) ([1](+)), despite the fact that the ferrocenium cation is incapable of oxidizing [1](+). The reaction is first-order in [1](+) and [H(2)] but independent of the E(1/2) and concentration of the oxidant. The analogous reaction occurs with D(2) and proceeds with an inverse kinetic isotope effect of 0.75(8). The activation of H(2) is further enhanced with the tetracarbonyl ...[more]
