title: Meridional bicyclometalation with iron: a novel way of forming dianionic [C,N,C]-ligands.
abstract: Bicyclometalation of aromatic substrates containing imine anchoring groups is achieved with a dimethyliron complex at -70 degrees C; azadiene systems undergo a regiospecific activation of 1,4-CH/N interchanged C-H bonds which may be aromatic or vinylic.
