The
addition of acids to ferrous dinitrogen complexes [FeX(N2)(PEtNMePEt)(dmpm)]+ (X
= H, Cl, or Br; PEtNMePEt =
Et2PCH2N(Me)CH2PEt2; and
dmpm = Me2PCH2PMe2) gives protonation
at the pendent amine of the diphosphine ligand rather than at the
dinitrogen ligand. This protonation increased the νN2 band of the complex by 25 cm–1 and shifted the
Fe(II/I) couple by 0.33 V to a more positive potential. A similar
IR shift and a slightly smaller shift of the Fe(II/I) couple (0.23
V) was observed for the related carbonyl complex [FeH(CO)(PEtNMePEt)(dmpm)]+. [FeH(PEtNMePEt)(dmpm)]+ was found to bind
N2 about three times more strongly than NH3.
Computational analysis showed that coordination of N2 to
Fe(II) centers increases the basicity of N2 (vs free N2) by 13 and 20 pKa units for the
trans halides and hydrides, respectively. Although the iron center
increases the basicity of the bound N2 ligand, the coordinated
N2 is not sufficiently basic to be protonated. In the case
of ferrous dinitrogen complexes containing a pendent methylamine,
the amine site was determined to be the most basic site by 30 pKa units compared to the N2 ligand.
The chemical reduction of these ferrous dinitrogen complexes was performed
in an attempt to increase the basicity of the N2 ligand
enough to promote proton transfer from the pendent amine to the N2 ligand. Instead of isolating a reduced Fe(0)–N2 complex, the reduction resulted in isolation and characterization
of HFe(Et2PC(H)N(Me)CH2PEt2)(PEtNMePEt), the product of oxidative addition
of the methylene C–H bond of the PEtNMePEt ligand to Fe.
