摘要
The 'normal' three-coordinate iron-NHC complex [(IPr)Fe(N'')(2)] (N '' = N(SiMe3)(2)) rearranges to its abnormal NHC analogue [(aIPr)Fe(N '')(2)] (6) on heating, providing a rare abnormal iron-aNHC complex, and the first such three-coordinate complex. The tert-butyl-substituted complex [((IBu)-Bu-t)Fe(N")(2)] (4) undergoes a thermal decomposition that has not previously been observed in iron-NHC chemistry, resulting in the bis(imidazole) complex [((t)BuIm)(2)Fe(N '')(2)] (7). A mechanism that involves consecutive C-H and C-N activation is proposed to account for the formation of 7.
