| Abstract | Earth-abundantmetal pincer complexes have played an importantrole in homogeneous catalysis during the last ten years. Yet, despiteintense research efforts, the synthesis of iron PCcarbeneP pincer complexes has so far remained elusive. Here we report thesynthesis of the first PCNHCP functionalized iron complex[(PCNHCP)FeCl2] (1) and the reactivityof the corresponding trans-dihydride iron(II) dinitrogencomplex [(PCNHCP)Fe(H)2N2)] (2). Complex 2 is stable under an atmosphere ofN2 and is highly active for hydrogen isotope exchange at(hetero)aromatic hydrocarbons under mild conditions (50 °C, N2). With benzene-d6 as the deuteriumsource, easily reducible functional groups such as esters and amidesare well tolerated, contributing to the overall wide substrate scope(e.g., halides, ethers, and amines). DFT studies suggest a complexassisted σ-bond metathesis pathway for C(sp2)–Hbond activation, which is further discussed in this study. |
