Bridgehead isomer effects in bis(phosphido)-bridged diiron hexacarbonyl proton reduction electrocatalysts

The influence of the substitution, orientation and structure of the phosphido bridges in [Fe2(CO)6(μ-PR2)2] electrocatalysts of proton reduction has been studied. The isomers e,a-[Fe2(CO)6{μ-P(Ar)H}2] (1a(Ar): Ar = Ph, 2′-methoxy-1,1′-binaphthyl (bn′)), e,e-[Fe2(CO)6{μ-P(Ar)H}2] (1b(Ar): Ar = Ph, bn′) were isolated from reactions of iron pentacarbonyl and the corresponding primary phosphine, syntheses that also afforded the phosphinidene-capped tri-iron clusters, [Fe3(CO)9(μ-CO)(μ3-Pbn′)] (2) and [Fe3(CO)9(μ3-PAr)2] (3(Ar), Ar = Ph, bn′). A ferrocenyl (Fc)-substituted dimer [Fe2(CO)6{μ:μ′-1,2-(P(CH2Fc)CH2)2C6H4}] (4), in which the two phosphido bridges are linked by an o-xylyl group, was al…
