Iron precatalysts with bulky tri(t‐butyl)cyclopentadienyl ligands for the dehydrocoupling of dimethylamine‐borane

In an attempt to prepare new Fe catalysts for the dehydrocoupling of amine‐boranes and to provide mechanistic insight, the paramagnetic FeII dimeric complex [Cp'FeI]2 (1) (Cp' = η5‐((1,2,4‐t‐Bu)3C5H2)) was used as a precursor to a series of cyclopentadienyl FeII and FeIII mononuclear speci...
