title: Investigation of formally zerovalent Triphos iron complexes.
abstract: The reduction of Triphos [PhP(CH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)] iron halide complexes has been explored, yielding formally zerovalent (κ(3)-Triphos)Fe(κ(2)-Triphos) and (κ(3)-Triphos)Fe(κ(2)-Bpy). Electrochemical analysis, coupled with the metrical parameters of (κ(3)-Triphos)Fe(κ(2)-Bpy), reveal an electronic structure consistent with a π-radical monoanion bipyridine chelate that is antiferromagnetically coupled to a low spin, Fe(I) metal center.
