Abstract

Homoleptic complexes in which alkyl or aryl groups are η1-bound to a transition metal form one of the cornerstones of organometallic chemistry. For example, most transition metals form both neutral and anionic complexes with σ-bonding aryl ligands. This chapter discusses the synthesis of the dimesityl iron (II) dimer (FeMes2)2 and its pyridine complex. It describes a series of homoleptic aryl complexes of the first row transition elements manganese, iron, and cobalt. The chapter features the transition metal elements iron and cobalt coordinated to naphthalene or anthracene in an η4 fashion. This coordination mode is indicative of weakened metal ligand bonding. Complexes with naphthalene or anthracene bonded in this way are of interest primarily because of their utility as synthons. It has been recently shown that sterically demanding m-terphenyl ligands can stabilize two-coordinate transition metal centers, in homoleptic complexes.
