Reversible coordination of N2 and H2 to a homoleptic S = 1/2 Fe(I) diphosphine complex in solution and the solid state

The synthesis and characterisation of the S = 1/2 Fe(I) complex [Fe(depe)2]+[BArF4]− ([1]+[BArF4]−), and the facile reversible binding of N2 and H2 in both solution and the solid state to form the adducts [1·N2]+ and [1·H2]+, are reported. Coordination of N2 in THF is thermodynamically favourable un...
