Abstract
A detailed study of the electrochemical behaviour of the d 8 complexes [Fe(NO)(Ph 2PCH 2CH 2PPh 2) 2] + and [Os(NO)(Ph 2PCH 2CH 2PPh 2) 2] +, with emphasis on the properties of the reduced species, has been made and the results compared with those obtained in the reduction of the corresponding ruthenium derivative. the reduction proceeds in two reversible one-electron steps leading to d 10 anionic complexes through an intermediate which, in the case of iron, is labile towards the loss of one phosphorus ligand. A tentative interpretation of this behaviour is suggested.
