Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports

The synthesis and electronic structures of the square-planar high-spin FeII complexes (MesPDPPh)Fe(OEt2) and (MesPDPPh)Fe(thf) were investigated. Analysis of these compounds using a combination of 1H NMR and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopies, in conjunction with computational analysis, has resulted in a rationalization for their unusual electronic structures, which arise from the unique coordination environment enforced by the pyridine dipyrrolide chelate ligand.

The reactivity of (MesPDPPh)Fe(thf) with organic azides has been probed and resulted in the isolation of an array of products that are consistent with …
