A novel silylene supported iron hydride [Si, C]FeH (PMe3)3 (1) was synthesized by C (sp3)-H bond activation with zero-valent iron complex Fe (PMe3)4. Complex 1 was fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. To the best of our knowledge, 1 is the first example of silylene-based hydrido chelate iron complex produced through activation of the C (sp3)?H bond. It was found that complex 1 exhibited excellent catalytic activity for hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones. The catalytic system showed good tolerance and catalytic activity for the substrates with different functional groups on the benzene ring. It is worth mentioning that, the experimental results showed that both ketones and aldehydes could be reduced in good to excellent yields under the same catalytic conditions. Based on the experiments and literature reports, a possible catalytic mechanism was proposed.

Two new examples of structurally characterized β-diketiminate analogues i.e., conjugated bis-guanidinate (CBG) supported palladium(II) complexes, [LPdX]2; [L= {(ArHN)(ArN)–C=N–C=(NAr)(NHAr)}; Ar = 2,6-Et2-C6H3], X = Cl (1), Br (2) have been reported. The synthesis of complexes 1–2 was achieved by two methods. Method A involves deprotonation of LH by nBuLi followed by the treatment of LLi (insitu formed) with PdCl2 in THF, which afforded compound 1 in good yield (75 %). In Method B, the reaction between free LH and PdX2 (X = Cl or Br) in THF allowed the formation of complexes 1 (Yield 73 %) and 2 (Yield 52 %), respectively. Moreover, these complexes were characterized thoroughly by several spectroscopic techniques (1H, 13C NMR, UV/Vis, FT-IR, and HRMS), including single-crystal X-ray structural and elemental analyses. In addition, we tested the catalytic activity of these complexes 1–2 for the hydroboration of carbonyl compounds with pinacolborane (HBpin). We observed that compound 1 exhibits superior catalytic activity when compared to 2. Compound 1 efficiently catalyzes various aldehydes and ketones under solvent-free conditions. Furthermore, both inter- and intramolecular chemoselectivity hydroboration of aldehydes over other functionalities have been established.

The synthesis of rare anionic heteroleptic and homoleptic α-diimine iron complexes is described. Heteroleptic BIAN (bis(aryl)iminoacenaphthene) complexes 1-[K([18]c-6)-(thf)0.5] and 2-[K([18]c-6)(thf)2] were synthesized by reduction of the [(BIAN)FeBr2] precursor complex using stoichiometric amounts of potassium graphite in the presence of the corresponding olefin. The electronic structure of these paramagnetic species was investigated by numerous spectroscopic analyses (NMR, EPR, 57Fe M?ssbauer, UV-vis), magnetic measurements (Evans NMR method, SQUID), and theoretical techniques (DFT, CASSCF). Whereas anion 1 is a low-spin complex, anion 2 consists of an intermediate-spin Fe(III) center. Both complexes are efficient precatalysts for the hydroboration of carbonyl compounds under mild reaction conditions. The reaction of bis(anthracene) ferrate(1-) gave the homoleptic BIAN complex 3-[K([18]c-6)(thf)], which is less catalytically active. The electronic structure was elucidated with the same techniques as described for complexes 1-[K([18]c-6)(thf)0.5] and 2-[K([18]c-6)(thf)2] and revealed an Fe(II) species in a quartet ground state.
