An unusual iron complex with formally zero oxidation state, iron bis(6, 6΄-dimethyl-2, 2΄-bipyridine), was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined. Combination of experimental and theoretical studies reveals that the electronic structure of the complex is best described as Fe(Ⅱ)(Mebipy^-)₂ with anionic Mebipy^- ligands and high-spin Fe(Ⅱ) center.
- Fe(Mebipy)₂,
- crystal structure,
- electronic structure,
- redox-active ligand
