Anodically-induced metal deprotonation of the hydrido complexes [{PCH2CH2PPh2)3}M(H)Cl] (M = Fe, Ru, Os): The first step to the electrogeneration of Fe(I), Ru(I) and Os(I) five-coordinate complexes

The electrochemical behaviour of the (hydride)chloride complexes [(PP3)M(H)Cl] (M = Fe, Ru, Os) has been studied by cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential electrolysis in tetrahydrofuran (PP3 = P(CH2CH2PPh2)3). All compounds undergo anodically-induced deprotonation to give the corresponding M(II) chlorides [(PP3)MCl]+. All the oxidation processes correspond to an EEC reaction pathway. The two-electron oxidation processes occur at coincident potentials for M = Ru, at slightly different potentials for M = Os, and at largely different potentials for M = Fe. The M(II) complexes [(PP3)MCl]+ are reversibly reduced to the corresponding M(I) derivatives [(PP3)MCl], which can be generated in solution by exhaustive macroelectrolysis. The paramagnetic Fe(I), Ru(I) and Os(I) chloride complexes have been characterised by X-band ESR spectroscopy in glassy and fluid solutions.
