Title: Arrested α-hydride migration activates a phosphido ligand for C–H insertion

Journal Article · · ChemComm
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1039/C6CC07864H· OSTI ID:1345420

Bulky tris(carbene)borate ligands provide access to high spin iron(II) phosphido complexes. The complex PhB(MesIm)3FeP(H)Ph is thermally unstable, and we observed [PPh] group insertion into a C–H bond of the supporting ligand. An arrested α-hydride migration mechanism suggests increased nucleophilicity of the phosphorus atom facilitates [PPh] group transfer reactivity.
