Reduction-induced hapticity increase in a silacycle-bridged biaryl-based ligand coordinated to an iron center

Dalton Trans. 2024 Jan 16;53(3):862-865. doi: 10.1039/d3dt03788f.

Abstract

An Fe(II) bromide complex supported by a bidentate phosphine ligand and an η1(C)-coordinated six-membered silacycle-bridged biphenyl-based ligand is converted upon reduction into an Fe(I) complex in which the hapticity of the silacycle-based ligand increases from η1 to η5.
