Non-covalent interactions of organic moieties with Lewis acidic alkali cations can greatly affect
structure and reactivity. Herein, we describe the effects of interactions with alkali metal cations
within a series of reduced iron complexes bearing a redox-active formazanate ligand, in terms
of structures, magnetism, spectroscopy, and reaction rates. In the absence of a crown ether to
sequester the alkali cation, dimeric complexes are isolated wherein the formazanate has
rearranged to form a five-membered metallacycle. The dissociation of these dimers is
dependent on the binding mode and size of the alkali cation. In the dimers, the formazanate
ligands are radical dianions, …
