In this study, several Fe(0) complexes with different geometric structures were prepared and characterized. Some of them exhibited properties similar to Fe(I) systems.
In the present work we have prepared and fully characterized several Fe(0) complexes of the type [Fe(PNP)(CO)(2)] treating Fe(II) complexes [Fe(PNP)(Cl)(2)] with KC8 in the presence of carbon monoxide. While complexes [Fe(PNPNMe-iPr)(CO)(2)], [Fe(PNPNEt-iPr)(CO)(2)] adopt a trigonal bipyramidal geometry, the bulkier and more electron rich [Fe(PNPNH-tBu)(CO)(2)] is closer to a square pyramidal geometry. Mossbauer spectra showed isomer shifts very close to 0 and similar to those reported for Fe(I) systems. Quadrupole splitting values range between 2.2 and 2.7 mm s(-1) both in experiments and DFT calculations, while those of Fe(I) complexes are much smaller (similar to 0.6 mm s(-1)).
