The dichlorophosphanes (R)P(Cl)2 react with Fe2(CO)9 to give (CO)4Fe-P(R)(Cl)2 (I) in high yields.When treated with Fe2(CO)9 in 2.5 M excess, compounds I give the μ2-chloro-μ2-chlorophosphido-bridged dinuclear molecules II, Fe2(CO)6(μ2-Cl)(μ2-PRCl).Further treatment of II with Fe2(CO)9 resulsts in the formation of the trinuclear clusters IV, Fe3(CO)10(μ3-PR).Zinc reduction of II leads to V, Fe4(CO)11)(μ4-PR)2.All of these reactions lead to fairly high yields for a variety of substituents R.The product selectivity is effectively controlled by the stoichiometry.The syntheses and properties of the main products I,II,IV and V, as well as those of the dinuclear side-products 2-PRCl)>2 (III), 2-PRCl)>2 (VI), and the trinuclear species (CO)9Fe3(μ3-PR)2 (VII), are discussed.
