The alkynyliron complex [Fe(C≡C-CH2CH2-CN)(dppe)(C5H5)] (2) (dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2), prepared from [Fe(C≡C-CH2CH2-CN)(CO)2(C5H5)] (1) and dppe under UV irradiation, reacted with HBF4 Et2O in tetrahydrofuran and with NH4[PF6] in CH2Cl2 to give the cationic vinylidene derivative [Fe(=C=CH-CH2CH2-CN)(dppe)(C5H5)][A] (A = BF4 (3a) or PF6 (3b)), which can be reconverted to 2 with K2CO3 in CH2Cl2. The compound [(C5H5)(dppe)Fe-NC-CH2CH2-C≡CH][PF6] (4), which is a tautomeric form of 3 was prepared by reaction of [Fe(I)(dppe)(C5H5)] with the alkyne HC≡C-CH2CH2CN in the presence of NH4[PF6] in CH2Cl2. The dinuclear compound [(C5H5)(dppe)Fe-C≡C-CH2CH2-CN-Fe(dppe)(C5H5)][PF6] (5), which is unstable, can be formed by reaction of 2 with [Fe(NCMe)(dppe)(C5H5)] PF6 in CH2Cl2. Its electrochemical oxidation shows that there is no electronic interaction between the two metal centres. Extended Hckel molecular orbital calculations have been carried out on the model complexes [(C5H5)(PH3)2Fe-C≡C-CH2CH2-CN-Fe(PH3)2(C5H5)]+ (7) and [(C5H5)(PH3)2Fe-CN-Fe(PH3)2(C5H5)]+ (8).
