Abstract

Tris(phosphine)borane ligated Fe(I) centers featuring N_2H_4, NH_3, NH_2, and OH ligands are described. Conversion of Fe–NH_2 to Fe–NH_3^+ by the addition of acid, and subsequent reductive release of NH_3 to generate Fe–N_2, is demonstrated. This sequence models the final steps of proposed Fe–mediated nitrogen fixation pathways. The five-coordinate trigonal bipyramidal complexes described are unusual in that they adopt S = 3/2 ground states and are prepared from a four-coordinate, S = 3/2 trigonal pyramidal precursor.
