Two-Coordinate Fe^0 and Co^0 Complexes Supported by Cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes
Abstract
The CAAC [CAAC=cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene] family of carbene ligands have shown promise in stabilizing unusually low-coordination number transition-metal complexes in low formal oxidation states. Here we extend this narrative by demonstrating their utility in affording access to the first examples of two-coordinate formal Fe^0 and Co^0 [(CAAC)_2M] complexes, prepared by reduction of their corresponding two-coordinate cationic Fe^I and Co^I precursors. The stability of these species arises from the strong σ-donating and π-accepting properties of the supporting CAAC ligands, in addition to steric protection.
