Two Fe(II)(2)(N-EtHPTB)(mu-O(2)X) complexes, where N-EtHPTB is the anion of N,N,N'N'-tetrakis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane and O(2)X is O(2)PPh(2) (1 x O(2)PPh(2)) or O(2)AsMe(2) (1 x O(2)AsMe(2)), have been synthesized. Their crystal structures both show interiron distances of 3.54 A that arise from a (mu-alkoxo)diiron(II) core supported by an O(2)X bridge. These diiron(II) complexes react with O(2) at low temperatures in MeCN (-40 degrees C) and CH(2)Cl(2) (-60 degrees C) to form long-lived O(2) adducts that are best described as (mu-eta(1):eta(1)-peroxo)diiron(III) species (2 x O(2)X) with nu(O-O) approximately 850 cm(-1). Upon warming to -30 degrees C, 2 x O(2)PPh(2) converts irreversibly to a second (mu-eta(1):eta(1)-peroxo)diiron(III) intermediate (3 x O(2)PPh(2)) with nu(O-O) approximately 900 cm(-1), a value which matches that reported for Fe(2)(N-EtHPTB)(O(2))(O(2)CPh) (3 x O(2)CPh) (Dong et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 1851-1859). Mossbauer spectra of 2 x O(2)PPh(2) and 3 x O(2)PPh(2) indicate that the iron centers within each species are antiferromagnetically coupled with J approximately 60 cm(-1), while extended X-ray absorption fine structure analysis reveals interiron distances of 3.25 and 3.47 A for 2 x O(2)PPh(2) and 3 x O(2)PPh(2), respectively. A similarly short interiron distance (3.27 A) is found for 2 x O(2)AsMe(2). The shorter interiron distance associated with 2 x O(2)PPh(2) and 2 x O(2)AsMe(2) is proposed to derive from a triply bridged diiron(III) species with alkoxo (from N-EtHPTB), 1,2-peroxo, and 1,3-O(2)X bridges, while the longer distance associated with 3 x O(2)PPh(2) results from the shift of the O(2)PPh(2) bridge to a terminal position on one iron. The differences in nu(O-O) are also consistent with the different interiron distances. It is suggested that the O...O bite distance of the O(2)X moiety affects the thermal stability of 2 x O(2)X, with the O(2)X having the largest bite distance (O(2)AsMe(2)) favoring the 2 x O(2)X adduct and the O(2)X having the smallest bite distance (O(2)CPh) favoring the 3 x O(2)X adduct. Interestingly, neither 3 x O(2)AsMe(2) nor the benzoate analog of 2 x O(2)X (2 x O(2)Bz) are observed.
合成了两种[Fe(II)₂(N - EtHPTB)(μ - O₂X)]²⁺配合物,其中N - EtHPTB是N,N,N',N'-四(2 - 苯并咪唑基甲基)-2 - 羟基 - 1,3 - 二氨基丙烷的阴离子,O₂X为O₂PPh₂(1×O₂PPh₂)或O₂AsMe₂(1×O₂AsMe₂)。它们的晶体结构均显示铁原子间距离为3.54 Å,这源于由O₂X桥支撑的(μ - 烷氧基)二价铁(II)核心。这些二价铁(II)配合物在低温下于乙腈(-40℃)和二氯甲烷(-60℃)中与O₂反应,形成寿命较长的O₂加合物,最好将其描述为(μ - η¹:η¹ - 过氧)二价铁(III)物种(2×O₂X),其ν(O - O)约为850 cm⁻¹。升温至-30℃时,2×O₂PPh₂不可逆地转化为第二种(μ - η¹:η¹ - 过氧)二价铁(III)中间体(3×O₂PPh₂),其ν(O - O)约为900 cm⁻¹,该值与[Fe₂(N - EtHPTB)(O₂)(O₂CPh)]²⁺(3×O₂CPh)报道的值相符(Dong等人,《美国化学会志》,1993年,115卷,1851 - 1859页)。2×O₂PPh₂和3×O₂PPh₂的穆斯堡尔谱表明,每个物种中的铁中心通过约60 cm⁻¹的J值反铁磁耦合,而扩展X射线吸收精细结构分析显示,2×O₂PPh₂和3×O₂PPh₂的铁原子间距离分别为3.25 Å和3.47 Å。对于2×O₂AsMe₂也发现了类似的短铁原子间距离(3.27 Å)。推测与2×O₂PPh₂和2×O₂AsMe₂相关的较短铁原子间距离源于具有烷氧基(来自N - EtHPTB)、1,2 - 过氧和1,3 - O₂X桥的三桥连二价铁(III)物种,而与3×O₂PPh₂相关的较长距离是由于O₂PPh₂桥转移到一个铁原子上的末端位置。ν(O - O)的差异也与不同的铁原子间距离一致。有人认为O₂X部分的O...O咬距影响2×O₂X的热稳定性,咬距最大的O₂X(O₂AsMe₂)有利于2×O₂X加合物,咬距最小的O₂X(O₂CPh)有利于3×O₂X加合物。有趣的是,未观察到3×O₂AsMe₂或2×O₂X的苯甲酸酯类似物(2×O₂Bz)。
