Notes:
FeH(DMPE)2(BH4) [DMPE = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane] is a stable, diamagnetic complex which can be synthesized readily by borohydride reduction of FeH(DMPE)2Cl or by treatment of Fe(DMPE)2H2 with borane. The complex contains an unsupported B—H—Fe hydrogen bridge. Analogous complexes with bulkier ligands, FeH(DEPE)2(BH4), [DEPE = 1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane] and FeH(DPrPE)2(BH4) [DPrPE = 1,2-bis(di-n-propylphosphino)ethane], are less stable. In all complexes, in solution the borohydride ligand undergoes rapid internal motion, with all four boron-bound hydrogens interchanging environments. The barriers for BH4 reorientation (measured by NMR spectroscopy) are in the sequence FeH(DMPE)2(BH)4 〉 FeH(DEPE)2(BH)4 〉 FeH(DPrPE)2(BH4).
