Abstract

The bis(bimetallic) diyndiyl complex [{Fe2(CO)6(μ-PPh2)}2(μ-C≡CC≡C)] reacts readily with terminal alkynes to give a number of products. One of these has been crystallographically and spectroscopically characterised, revealing facile insertion of a terminal alkyne into one metal-C σ-bond of the precursor to give a novel tetrametallic compound which features an extended “carbon-rich” ligand. The product is derived from a Fe–C bond cleavage reaction, coupled with C–C and C–P bond formation, and further illustrates the remarkable, and as yet poorly mapped, reactivity of C4 fragments on polymetallic frameworks.
