| The ortho-chelated iron(II) complexes [FeCl(PMe3)3{(C6H3Cl-ortho)CH=N-R}] (R = Me, Ph) (3, 4) and [FeCl(PMe3)3{(C6H4-CH=N-R}] (R = Ph, n-Bu) (7 ，8) were prepared through oxidative addition of the C-Cl bond of ortho-chlorinated imine using iron(0) complexes, [Fe(PMe3)4]. The reaction of 3, 4 and 8 with CO delivered the carbonyl Fe(II) complexes 9 - 11. A one-pot reaction of [FeMe2(PMe3)4] with (C6H3Cl2-2,6)CH=N(C6H5) at CO atmosphere resulted in carbonyl Fe(II) complexes, [FeMe(CO)(PMe3)2((C6H3Cl-ortho)CH=N-Ph)] (12). The crystal and molecular structures of complexes 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 12 were determined by X-ray diffraction. |
