Benzonitrile as a 6-Electron Donor Ligand: The Clusters Fe3(CO)9(μ3(η2)-NCC6H5) and Fe4(CO)12(μ4(η2)-NCC6H5)

The reaction of Fe3(CO)12 with benzonitrile in the presence of hydrogen leads to the benzonitrile complexes Fe3(CO)9(μ3(η2)-NCC6H5) (1a) and Fe4(CO)12(μ4(η2)-NCC6H5) (2).Their structures were determined crystallographically.The benzonitrile ligand is coordinated to the iron atoms formally via one ?-bond and two ?-bonds in 1a, and via three ?-bonds and one ?-bond in 2.
