Historical account of dinitrogen-bridged diiron complex synthesis using a commercial tripodal ligand
The KC<sub>8</sub> reduction of (Triphos)FeCl<sub>2</sub> in toluene under 3.4 atm of N<sub>2</sub> afforded [(Triphos)Fe]<sub>2</sub>(μ-N<sub>2</sub>), which features a modestly-activated N<sub>2</sub> ligand and antiferromagnetically coupled Fe(0) centres. The addition of H<sub>2</sub> to this compound yielded (Triphos)Fe(μ-H)<sub>3</sub>Fe(μ-H)<sub>3</sub>Fe(Triphos).
