Abstract: We present a new synthetic strategy for obtaining mixed-valence triiron complexes where the metal centers are bridged by a novel, highly functionalized hydrocarbyl ligand. The alkynyl-vinyliminium complexes [Fe2Cp2(CO)(µ-CO){µ-η1:η3-C(X-C≡CH)CHCNMe2}]CF3SO3 (X =...

The new diiron(I) complexes [Fe2Cp2(μ‐CO){μ‐k3C,kN‐C(R1)C(R2)C(CN)NMe(R)}], 3a‐o (R = alkyl or 4‐C6H4OMe; R1 = alkyl, aryl, ferrocenyl (Fc), thiophenyl, CO2Me or SiMe3; R2 = H, Me or CO2Me) were synthesized in moderate to high yields from the thermal decarbonylation of the bis‐carbonyl precursors 2a‐o, and were structurally characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X‐ray diffraction in four cases. Electrochemical behavior of one complex was also investigated. Complexes 3a‐o comprise a highly functionalized, multisite amino‐(cyano)allylidene ligand, including metal coordination of a tertiary amine group. Selected complexes displayed negligible to moderate catalytic activity in CO2/propylene oxide coupling, working under ambient conditions. Additionally, they were investigated as catalysts for the conversion of benzaldehyde to the corresponding borate ester 6a, using pinacolborane (HBpin) as the borylating agent. Most complexes achieved good conversions at room temperature with 1% catalyst loading, and data highlight the significant influence of the multisite ligand substituents on the catalytic performance. Notably, complex 3m (featuring R = 4‐methoxyphenyl, R1 = Fc, R2 = H) displayed the highest activity and effectively catalyzed the hydroboration of various aldehydes and ketones. A plausible mechanistic cycle involves metal coordination of the carbonyl substrate, its activation being possibly facilitated by intramolecular interactions.
