Reversible coordination of N2 and H2 to a homoleptic S = 1/2 Fe(i) diphosphine complex in solution and the solid state.


ABSTRACT: The synthesis and characterisation of the S = 1/2 Fe(i) complex [Fe(depe)2]+[BArF4]- ([1]+[BArF4]-), and the facile reversible binding of N2 and H2 in both solution and the solid state to form the adducts [1·N2]+ and [1·H2]+, are reported. Coordination of N2 in THF is thermodynamically favourable under ambient conditions (1 atm; ?G 298 = -4.9(1) kcal mol-1), while heterogenous binding is more favourable for H2 than N2 by a factor of ?300. [1·H2]+[BArF4]- represents a rare example of a well-defined, open-shell, non-classical dihydrogen complex, as corroborated by ESR spectroscopy. The rapid exchange between N2 and H2 coordination under ambient conditions is unique for a paramagnetic Fe complex.
