"Xenophilic" complexes offer metal-metal bonds between disparate metal sites, but the nature of the metal-metal bonding is often unclear. Here, we describe two novel complexes with unsupported Fe-Fe bonds, L<sup>x</sup> Fe-Fp (L<sup>X</sup> = β-aldiminate or β-diketiminate; Fp = Fe(CO)<sub>2</sub> Cp), that offer insight into Fe-Fe bonding. Mössbauer, magnetism, and DFT analysis indicate that the most accurate electronic structure description is LFe<sup>II</sup> ←Fe<sup>0</sup> (CO)<sub>2</sub> ...[more]
