Coordinatively and Electronically Unsaturated Zwitterionic Iron Silyl Complexes Featuring the Tripodal Phosphine Ligand [PhB(CH<sub>2</sub>P<sup>i</sup>Pr<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>]<sup>-</sup>
A series of 14-electron, coordinatively unsaturated Fe(II) silyl complexes featuring the anionic, tripodal phosphine ligand [PhB(CH2PiPr2)3]- have been prepared and characterized; preliminary reactivity studies indicate that at least one such complex can undergo redox processes to generate isolable Fe(I) species with concomitant loss of the silyl ligand.
