Synthesis and characterization of an iron(II) eta(2)-hydrazine complex.
The iron phosphine complex cis-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(eta2-N2H4)][BPh4]2 {DMeOPrPE = 1,2-bis[bis(methoxypropyl)phosphino]ethane} was synthesized and structurally characterized. The structure exhibits the first eta2 coordination of hydrazine to iron, which may be relevant to intermediates trapped during nitrogenase turnover. The reaction of I with acid results in the formation of ammonia via a disproportionation reaction.
