Abstract

The reduction of the cyanoiron (II1) complex (NC) zFe (phen) z+ by various alkyl radicals occurs readily by addition to the cyanide ligand to form an alkyl isocyanide coordinated to iron (I1). The infrared and electronic spectra of analogous cyanoiron (I1) and (alkyl isocyanide) iron (II) complexes are compared in the series:(CH3NC) zFe (phen) z2',(CH3NC)(NC) Fe (phen),+,(NC) zFe (phen) z. Electron-rich alkyl radicals such as tert- ...
