A series of new phosphido-bridged heterometaic dinuclear complexes FeM(μ-PPh2)(CO)x(L)2 (M = Rh, L = PEt3, x = 4, 5; M = Ir, L = PPh3, x = 4-6) have been synthesized by the reaction of Ll[Fe(CO)4(PPh2)] with the appropriate trans-MCl(CO)L2 complex. Each of the new compounds undergoes a series of reversible addition/elimination reactions with CO, and the Fe-Ir compounds react with H2 to give new H2 adducts.
