Phosphine addition to the sigma,pi-thienyl complex [Fe-2(CO)(6)(mu-Th)(mu-PTh2)] (Th = C4H3S): Carbonyl substitution and migratory carbonyl insertion to give the thienyl-acyl complexes [Fe-2(CO)(4)(diphosphine)(mu-O=C-Th)(mu-PTh2)]

Abstract
The reactivity of the sigma,pi-thienyl complex [Fe-2(CO)(6)(mu-Th)(mu-PTh2)] (1) towards a range of phosphines has been studied. With PR3 (R = Ph, Th) carbonyl substitution affords [Fe-2(CO)(5)(PR3)(mu-Th)(mu-PTh2)] (2ab) as the major product, with smaller amounts of the thienylacyl complexes [Fe-2(CO)(5)(PR3)(mu-O=C-Th)(mu-PTh2)] (3ab) resulting from a migratory carbonyl insertion into the thienyl ligand. With diphosphines, thienylacyl complexes are the major products in all cases. With dppm, [Fe-2(CO)(4)(mu-dppm)(mu-O=C-Th)(mu-PTh2)] (4) results in which the diphosphine bridges the ironiron bond, while with other diphosphines the chelate complexes [Fe-2(CO)(4)(kappa(2)-diphosphine)(mu-O=C-Th)(mu-PTh2)] (59) are isolated, as established...
