Abstract Typified by LiTMP and TMPMgCl.LiCl, (TMP=2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidide), s‐block metal amides have found widespread applications in arene deprotonative metalation. On the contrary, transition lack sufficient basicity to activate these substrates. Breaking new ground this field, here we present synthesis full characterisation of earth‐abundant metals M(TMP) 2 (M=Fe, Co). Uncovering a reactivity profile towards fluoroarenes, amide complexes can promote direct M−H exchange processes...
Ferrous bridging mono-chalcogenide ate complexes K 2 [( t Bu pyrpyrr )Fe (μ-E)] (2-E) (E = O, S, Se, and Te) are prepared show a Fe–E–Fe bridge from linear O) to acute for E Te, with lesser antiferromagnetic coupling going down the series.

The synthesis and characterization of a series homoleptic iron complexes [Fe(benzNHCOCO)2]2–/1–/0/1+ supported by the tridentate bis-aryloxide benzimidazolin-2-ylidene pincer ligand benzNHCOCO2– (II) is presented. While reaction 2 equiv free II with ferrous precursor leads to isolation coordination polymer [Fe(benzNHCOCOK)2]n (1), treatment ferric salts allows for mononuclear, octahedral bis-pincer compound K[Fe(benzNHCOCO)2] (2) its crown-ether derivative [K(18c6)(THF)2][Fe(benzNHCOCO)2]...
We report high-valent iron complexes supported by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-anchored, bis-phenolate pincer ligands that undergo ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) upon photoexcitation. The resulting excited states - with a lifetime in the picosecond range feature ligand-based, mixed-valence system and intense intervalence bands near-infrared region. Upon oxidation of complex, corresponding absorptions are also observed ground state. suggest spectroscopic hallmarks such LMCT provide...

Reduction of the ferrous precursor [(TIMMNMes)Fe(Cl)]+ (1) (TIMMNMes = tris-[(3-mesitylimidazol-2-ylidene)methyl]amine) to low-valent iron(0) complex [(TIMMNMes)Fe(CO)3] (2) is presented, where tris(N-heterocyclic carbene) (NHC) ligand framework remains intact, yet coordination mode changed from 3-fold 2-fold carbene arms. Further, corresponding iron(I) complexes [(TIMMNMes)Fe(L)]+ (L free site, η1-N2, CO, py) (3) are synthesized and fully characterized. Complexes 1–3 demonstrate notable...
The mono-benzaldimine (HN═CHPh) complex [(tBupyrpyrr2)Fe(HN═CHPh)] (1-HN═CHPh) has been prepared by reaction of [(tBupyrpyrr2)Fe(OEt2)] (1-OEt2) (tBupyrpyrr2 = 2,6-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-pyrrolyl)pyridine) with one equivalent benzyl azide. Compound 1-HN═CHPh retains the cis-divacant octahedral coordination geometry akin to 1, as established single crystal X-ray diffraction study. A bis-HN═CHPh [(tBupyrpyrr2)Fe(HN═CHPh)2] (2) was also addition two equivalents azide and its molecular structure...
