The series of dinitrogen reduction intermediates (N2H 2, N2H4, and NH3) coordinated to the Fe(DMeOPrPE)2H+(DMeOPrPE = 1,2-[bis(dimethoxypropyl) phosphino]ethane) scaffold has been synthesized or generated. The synthesis of trans-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(NH3)H][BPh4] and generation of trans-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(N2H4)H] [BPh4] were achieved by substitu tion of the dinitrogen ligand on trans-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(N2)H][BPh4]. The trans-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(N2H2)H]+ complex and its deprotonated conjugate base, trans-Fe(DMeOPrPE) 2(N2H)H, were observed by 31P and 1H NMR from decomposition of trans-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(N2H 4)H]+ in the presence of excess hydrazine. Attempts to chemically oxidize trans-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(N2H 4)H]+ to trans-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(N 2H2)H][BPh4] with a variety of oxidizing agents yielded only decomposition products consistent with the intermediate formation of trans-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)2(N2H2)H]+ prior to decomposition.
