Evolution of Ate‐Organoiron(II) Species towards Lower Oxidation States: Role of the Steric and Electronic Factors

Ate‐iron(II) species such as [Ar3FeII]− (Ar=aryl) are key intermediates in Fe‐catalyzed couplings between aryl nucleophiles and organic electrophiles. They can be active species in the catalytic cycle, or lead to Fe0 and FeI oxidation states, which can themselves be catalytically active or lead to u...
