The structure and bonding of four iron complexes involving the 1,4-dihydro-1,4-diboranaphthalene ligand C8B2H8 (1), namely of the complexes (CO)3Fe(η6-C8B2H8) (2), (μ, η4,η6-C8B2H8)[Fe(CO)3]2 (3), (CO)3Fe(μ,η4,η6-C8B2H8)Fe(CO)2 (4), and of the triple-decker (μ,η6-C8B2H8)[Fe(η5-C5H5)]2 (5), have been investigated by means of the perturbational molecular orbital theory on the basis of the Extended Hückel calculations. Compounds 2 and 3 are 18-VE complexes, whereas 5 is a 30-VE species. The structure of 4 can be best described in terms of a 16-VE complex “Fe(CO)3 heterocycle” and a 18-VE “Fe(CO)2 carbocycle” unit with its iron centers being not directly bond.
