Directed Amination as a Strategy for C–N Bond Formation by Iron Imido Complexes

The stabilization of low-coordinate and high-spin iron complexes plays a central role in enabling novel pathways for C–H functionalization and catalysis of organic reactions. Previous work from our group demonstrated that the bulky bis(carbene)borate ligand Ph2B(tBuIm)2– supports the three-coordinate iron(II) imido c...
