Disparate reactivity of a chiral iron(ii) tetracarbene complex with organic azides

Abstract

A chiral tetra-NHC iron(II) complex and its disparate reactivity with multiple organic azides is reported. Both aryl and alkyl azides react with the iron(II) complex yielding three distinct products: an iron(IV) imide, an iron(IV) tetrazene, and a surprising and unprecedented double imide insertion complex.
