摘要: This paper describes the redox chemistry of a tetrazene ligand on (beta-diketiminato)iron complexes. Addition 1-adamantyl azide to an iron(I) source gives complex L(Me)Fe(AdNNNNAd), most likely through imidoiron(III) intermediate. Spectroscopic, magnetic, crystallographic, and computational investigations show that one unpaired spin occupies primarily ligand-based orbital, is antiferromagnetically coupled high-spin iron(II) ion give S = 3/2 ground state. Reversible single-electron reduction occurs at singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO), affording dianionic while leaving metal oxidation state unchanged.
