Abstract

The cationic complex [Fe(P2 S2 )(NCMe)2 ](2+) (P2 S2 =(Ph2 PC6 H4 CH2 S)2 (C2 H4 ) ([1(NCMe)2 ](2+) )), with two MeCN ligands in a cis orientation, was synthesized and characterized. The MeCN ligand in [1(NCMe)2 ](2+) undergoes further substitution by a hydride ligand or CO to give iron(II) hydrides [H1(NCMe)](+) , [H1H](0) , and [H1(CO)](+) . The order of reactivity of the hydrides was [H1H](0) >[H1(NCMe)](+) >[H1(CO)](+) , and was illustrated by their reactions toward protic acids, the organic cation of 10-methylacridinium (MeAcr(+) ) as a hydride acceptor, and intermolecular hydride transfer reactions among these ferrous compounds. For example, MeAcr(+) was reduced initially by a one-electron transfer process from [H1H](0) , resulting in competing reactions of MeAcr(.) dimerization, hydrogen atom transfer from [H1H](+) to MeAcr(.) , and decomposition of [H1H](+) . MeAcrH was produced in excellent yields through a single-step H(-) transfer from [H1(NCMe)](+) to MeAcr(+) , but [H1(CO)](+) was inactive toward MeAcr(+) .
