description

Abstract The compound (NN)Fe 3 (CO) 9 ( 1 ) in tetrahydrofuran undergoes two reversible one-electron reduction processes in cyclic voltammetry at the platinum electrode. A rapid electron transfer-catalyzed reaction occurs when 1 is reduced in the presence of L (L = P(OMe) 3 ) and this gives (NN)Fe 3 (CO) 8 L ( 2 ), quantitatively. Only an electron-induced nucleophilic substitution is observed for compound 2 under the same conditions, yielding (NN)Fe 3 (CO) 7 L 2 , which undergoes a similar reaction but with much lower efficiency, to give (NN)Fe 3 (CO) 6 L 3 .
