Novel ligand transformations in cluster complexes. Activation of C–F bonds in a perfluorovinyldiiron(I) complex by primary and secondary amines
Abstract
Reactions of primary amines with the perfluorovinyl complex [{Fe(CO)3}2{µ-C(SMe)(CF3)CCF2}]1 proceed with cleavage of two C–F bonds to give 2, whereas with secondary amines fluorine migration and C–F bond rupture afford the novel organometallic complex 3; both 2 and 3 have been characterized by X-ray analysis.
