Abstract

Treatment of PhSbCl2 with 2 equiv. of (2,6-Cl2C6H3)(2-LiC6H4)NLi, which was generated in situ by the interaction of (2,6-Cl2C6H3)(2-BrC6H4)NH with 2 equiv. of BunLi, followed by quenching with water, afforded the diamine-stibine compound ((o-(N-(2,6-Cl2C6H3)NH)C6H4)2SbPh (denoted as H2(dcpN2Sb)). H2(dcpN2Sb) undergoes amine-elimination reaction with[Fe(N(SiMe3)2)2]2 (0.5 euiqv.) to afford an iron(Ⅱ) complex[(κ3-N,N,Sb-dcpN2Sb)Fe(THF)] (1) bearing an unique tridentate bisamido-stibine ligand. Solution magnetic susceptibility measurements (μeff=4.7(2) μB in C6D6) reveal a high spin (S=2) electronic structure for 1. Complex 1 represents the first high-spin iron(Ⅱ) complex with organic stibine ligation, and features a long Fe-Sb bond distance of 0.2792(1) nm. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate weak σ interaction betwen the high-spin iron(Ⅱ) center and the antimony atom due to ineffective orbital overlap. Complex 1 can react with organic azides RN3 to furnish the high-spin (S=2) iron(Ⅱ) complexes that bear tridentate bisamido-stibonium imine ligands[(κ3-N,N,N-dcpN2SbNR)Fe(py)] (R=dcp (2,6-Cl2C6H3), 2; R=Dipp (2,6-iPr2C6H3), 3). These compexes are among the rare metal complexes with stibonium imine ligation. The average Sb-N distance of 0.194 nm in the imine moieties is found comparable to those of the Sb-N bonds in the reported stibonium imine compounds Mes3SbNCOCl3 (0.199 nm) and 2-MeC6H4)3SbNSO2CF3 (0.196 nm). The reactions of 1 with diazo compounds (R1R2)CN2 afford the high-spin iron(Ⅱ) complexes featuring tridentate bisamido-stibonium ylide ligands[(κ3-N,N,C-dcpN2SbCR1,R2)Fe(PMe3)] (R1=H, R2=CO2But, 4; R1=Ph, R2=CO2Et, 5). The average Sb-C distance of 0.206 nm in the ylide moieties is found comparable to those of the Sb-C bonds in the reported stibonium ylide compounds (around 0.20 nm). H2(dcpN2Sb) and 1~5 have been characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, solution magnetic susceptibility measurements and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
