S. Komiya et al., ISOLATION OF A ZEROVALENT IRON DINITROGEN COMPLEX WITH 1,2-BIS(DIETHYLPHOSPHINO)ETHANE LIGANDS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (9), 1993, pp. 787-788
A zerovalent iron dinitrogen complex [Fe(N2)(depe)2] having 1,2-bis(di
ethylphosphino)ethane ligands has been prepared by reduction of [FeCl2
(depe)2] with sodium-naphthalene in tetrahydrofuran under nitrogen at
room temperature.
