This work studied preparation and catalytic application of CNC-pincer Fe complexes containing a bis(NHC)amido ligand (NHC: N-heterocyclic carbene). Deprotonation of bis(3-isopropylimidazoliumyl)amine salt [(CNCiPr)H3]2+[I−]2 (1a) with lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) afforded the corresponding bis(NHC)amido-Li complex 2a. Treatment of in-situ generated 2a with FeI2(thf)2 gave a CNC-pincer Fe(II) iodide complex Fe(CNCiPr)I (3a) and a cationic homoleptic Fe(III) complex [Fe(CNCiPr)2]+I− (4a). Reaction of in-situ generated 2a with Fe[N(SiMe3)2]2 produced the corresponding amido complex Fe(CNCiPr)[N(SiMe3)2] (5a). Similarly, deprotonation of a less hindered methyl analogue [(CNCMe)H3]2+[I−]2 (1b) with LiHMDS followed by treatment of Fe[N(SiMe3)2]2 gave an amido complex Fe(CNCMe)[N(SiMe3)2] (5b). Molecular structures of 3a, 5a and 5b, which were confirmed by X-ray diffraction study, showed a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Complexes 3a and 5b were found to be active in hydrogenation of alkenes. Reaction mechanism was investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

含双(N-杂环卡宾)酰胺基配体的CNC钳制铁络合物:烯烃的合成及其在催化加氢中的应用
这项工作研究了含有双(NHC)酰胺基配体(NHC:N-杂环卡宾)的CNC-钳制Fe络合物的制备和催化应用。双去质子化(3- isopropylimidazoliumyl)胺盐[(CNC我镨)H 3 ] 2+ [I - ] 2(1A)与六甲基二锂,得到相应的双(NHC)酰氨基- Li络合物(将LiHMDS)2A。用FeI 2(thf)2处理原位生成的2a得到CNC钳制的Fe(II)碘化物络合物Fe(CNC i Pr)I(3a)和阳离子均配型的Fe(III)络合物的[Fe(CNC我镨)2 ] +我- (4A)。的反应原位生成的图2a为Fe [N(森达3)2 ] 2产生的对应的酰胺络合物的Fe(CNC我镨)[N(森达3)2 ](图5a)。类似地,较少受阻甲基类似物的去质子化[(CNC我)H 3 ] 2 + [I - ] 2(1B),然后用LiHMDS处理Fe [N(SiMe 3)2 ] 2,得到酰胺配合物Fe(CNC Me)[N(SiMe 3)2 ](5b)。X射线衍射研究证实了3a,5a和5b的分子结构显示出扭曲的四面体几何形状。发现络合物3a和5b在烯烃的氢化中具有活性。通过密度泛函理论(DFT)计算研究了反应机理。
