Iron carbonyl complexes bearing phenazine and acridine ligands: X-ray structures of Fe(CO)3(η4-C12H8N2), Fe(CO)2{P(OMe)3}(η4-C12H8N2), Fe(CO)2(PPh3) (η4-C13H9N), and Fe(CO)2(κ1-dppm) (η4-C12H8N2)
Abstract:Reactions of Fe 3 (CO) 12 with the heterocycles phenazine and acridine in refluxing benzene afforded the mononuclear complexes Fe(CO) 3 ((4b). Compounds 1a, 2a, 3b, and 4a have been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The ancillary phenazine and acridine ligands in these products adopt an η 4coordination mode by using only the peripheral carbon atoms in one of the carbocyclic rings.Given the rarity of this coordination mode in metal carbonyl complexes, we have performed electronic structure ca… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
