With interest in transition metal-promoted catalysis growing, steps have been made to overcome the disadvantages of using first-row transition metals over noble metals. First row transition metals are less likely to undergo metal-centered two-electron process. To support the metal in its oxidation and reduction processes, the Thomas Lab has initiated the use of a non-innocent ligand—specifically a bis(amido)bis(phosphine) (PNNP) ligand in this work. Being that both the ligand and metal are able to participate in redox events, we were interested in exploring the redox activity of this complex. This study is built off of the cyclic voltammogram of a tetradentate bis(amido)bis(phosphine) iron(II) complex and the exploration of different oxidation states through a series of experiments.
