| Abstract
| - Reaction of {(η5-C5Me5)Fe}2(μ-H)4 with tBu2SiH2 provides the first dinuclear iron μ-silane complex,{(η5-C5Me5)Fe}2(μ-H)2(μ-η2:η2-H2SitBu2), in which twoSi−H σ-bonds are coordinated to two iron centers. Thecoordinated Si−H bond is readily cleaved and theμ-silane ligand is eliminated to give a dinuclear ironactive species which reacts in situ with organic substrates.
- Treatment of {(η5-C5Me5)Fe}2(μ-H)4 (2) with tBu2SiH2 yields the first dinuclear iron μ-silane complex, {(η5-C5Me5)Fe}2(μ-H)2(μ-η2:η2-H2SitBu2) (4), in which two Si−H σ-bonds are coordinated to two iron centers. The coordinated Si−H bond is readily cleaved, and the μ-silane ligand is eliminated to give a dinuclear iron active species which reacts in situ with organic substrates.
