    Abstract

    The carbamoyl ferrate Li[Fe{C(=O)N iPr 2}(CO) 4] reacts in diethyl ether with Br 2PPh 3, I 2PPh 3, or I 2 followed by triphenylphosphine to provide the complexes [Fe(η 2-OCN iPr 2)X-(CO) 2(PPh 3)] [X = I trans to PPh 3 (1a); Br (1b) two isomers], each of which feature dihaptoC,O carbamoyl coordination. The reactions of 1a or 1b with AgBF 4 in the presence of CO provide [Fe(η 2-OCN iPr 2)(CO) 3(PPh 3)]BF 4 (2a·BF 4), one carbonyl ligand of which is labile and readily replaced by I -, Br -, or PPh 3 to provide 1a, 1b, or [Fe-{η 2-OCN iPr 2}(CO) 2(PPh 3) 2]BF 4(2b·BF 4). The reaction of 1a with dppe leads to a separable mixture of the salt [Fe{η 2- OCN iPr 2}(CO) 2(dppe)]I (3·I) and [Fe{η 2-OCN iPr 2}I(CO)(dppe)] (4). Successive treatment of Li[Fe{C(=O)N iPr 2}(CO) 4] with ClSnPh 3 and PPh 3 provides the stannyl complex [Fe(η 2-OCN iPr 2)(SnPh 3)(CO) 2(PPh 3)] (1d). Treating Id with iodine leads to Sn-Fe rather than Sn-C cleavage and formation of 1a. In all the above transformations the integrity of the dihapto carbamoyl coordination is ultimately retained. The crystal structures of 1d and 2b·PF 6 are reported.
