Abstract

The preparation and characterization of lithium and iron(II) complexes containing a potentially tridentate biphenolate phosphane ligand are reported. Deprotonation of 2,2′-phenylphosphanyl-bis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenol) (H₂L^Ph) with one or two equivalents of nBuLi in diethyl ether solutions at-35 °C produces binuclear {Li(HL^Ph)(OEt ₂)}₂ or tetranuclear Li₄(L^Ph) ₂(OEt₂)₃, respectively. An X-ray study of {Li(HL^Ph)(OEt₂)}₂ showed it to be a C _i-symmetric dimer composed of two Li(HL^Ph)(OEt ₂) units linked with dative O-Li bonds involving phenolate oxygen donor atoms whereas that of Li₄(L^Ph)₂(OEt ₂)₃ revealed a C₂-symmetric structure in which the two biphenolate phosphane ligands are linked with four lithium atoms that bind to three diethyl ether molecules. Treatment of FeCl₂ with one or two equivalents of Na₂(L^Ph)(DME)₂ in THF at-35 °C generates binuclear Fe₂(L^Ph)₂(THF) ₂ or mononuclear Fe(HL^Ph)₂(THF)₂, respectively. The two iron(II) centers in Fe₂(L^Ph) ₂(THF)₂ are antiferromagnetically coupled.
