Abstract/Summary

A mononuclear iron complex with 2-ethynylbenzo[b]thiophene C-coordinated to the (η5 -Cp*)(η2 -dppe)Fe ( Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, dppe = 1,2-diphenylphosphinoethane) framework (1) was successfully prepared and characterized by 1H NMR, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The redox behavior of complex 1 was investigated by voltammetric methods and anodic spectroelectrochemistry in the UV-vis-NIR-IR region and compared with reference complexes including 2-ferrocenylbenzo[b]thiophene (2) and the 2-ethynylpyridine derivative of 1. The spin density distribution along the linear molecular backbone in stable 1 + was analyzed by DFT (BLYP35) and TDDFT calculations of a truncated model complex. The combined experimental and theoretical results have revealed an important role of the ethynylene linker in determining the redox properties of this family of complexes and a sizable participation the 2-ethynylbenzo[b]thiophene framework in the largely iron-based anodic electron transfer
