Abstract
The diphosphenyl complex (eta-5-C5Me5)-(CO)2Fe-P=P-Mes* (Mes* = 2,4,6-tBu3C6H2) undergoes a [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition with hexafluoroacetone to give the metalla heterocycle (eta-5-C5Me5)(CO)-Fe-P(=PMes*)OC(CF3)2C(O) with a remarkably short Fe-P bond (2.084 (4) angstrom) and an exocyclic P=P bond. When stored in solution at -40-degrees-C, this complex partly rearranges to the metalated 1-oxa-2,3-diphosphetane (eta-5-C5Me5)(CO)2Fe-P-P(Mes*)OC(CF3)2. The molecular structures of both isomers were elucidated by single-crystal X-ray analyses.
