Abstract

Six- and five-coordinate Fe(II) complexes with the pincer ligand 2,6-bis(imidazolylidene)pyridine (C−N−C), [(C−N−C)Fe(MeCN)3][BPh4]2 and [(C−N−C)FeBr2], respectively, were synthesized. Substitution of tmeda in [FeCl2(tmeda)]2 by C−N−C gave the six-coordinate {[Fe(C−N−C)(C−N−C*)][FeCl4]}, in which one of the pincer ligands is bound to the metal via the 2- and 5-imidazole carbons.
