Synthetic dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) display a variety of properties including the ability to affect the transfer of molecular oxygen to phosphines or alkenes, and the ability to serve as catalysts for the dimerization of olefins. DNICs derive their functionality from the Fe(NO)2 group. Therefore, it is important to understand how the ligands bound to the metal affect the fundamental properties of the Fe(NO)2 unit. With this work, a series of novel synthetic DNICs have been prepared by reaction of Fe(NO)2(CO)2 with a variety of chelating ligands to give novel complexes with the general formula Fe(NO)2L (L = a bidentate ligand). These compounds have been characterized by a variety of instrumental methods including IR and NMR spectroscopy.
