Abstract
Herein, we report the reactions of an Fe(II) imido complex [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe═NDipp]- (1) with internal alkynes and isobutyronitrile, affording the Fe amido allenyl complexes [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe(NHDipp)((R1)C═C═C(R2)(H))]- (R1 = Et or nPr; R2 = Me or Et, 2-5) and the Fe amido keteniminate complex [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe(NHDipp)(N═C═CMe2)K(THF)]n (8-K), respectively. These transformations represent the previously unknown ene-like reactivity of a metal-ligand multiple bond. Stoichiometric reactions of 2 and 8-K with DippNH2 lead to the regeneration of 3-hexyne and isobutyronitrile, respectively, with concomitant formation of the bis(anilido) complex [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe(NHDipp)2]- (9). These results provide the platform for 1 as an efficient catalyst for the selective α-deuteration of nitriles and alkynes by RND2. These results demonstrate a new reaction mode for metal imido complexes and suggest new avenues for using the imido ligand in catalysis.

Abstract
The regioselective synthetic approach to higher alkenes from lower alkenes by using sulfoxides as alkyl or aryl reagents in the Fe3+/H2O2 system has been developed. This reaction realized direct alkylation or arylation of alkenes. In this reaction, sulfoxides afforded one Csp3 or Csp2 atom to the C═C bond of alkenes; one new Csp2-Csp3 bond or Csp2-Csp2 bond was formed. Nearly 40 products including di-, tri-, and tetra-substituted products were regioselectively synthesized. Both aliphatic and aromatic alkenes could participate in this reaction. Moreover, not only dimethyl sulfoxide but also three other sulfoxides can be applied to this reaction, including diethyl, dibenzyl, and diphenyl sulfoxide. The mechanism studies showed that this reaction may experience a coupling process via radical addition-elimination and the Fe3+/H2O2 system made the sulfoxides offered one alkyl or aryl radical to the C═C bond of alkenes.

Abstract
Reduction of the three-coordinate iron(III) imido [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe═NDipp] (1) affords [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe═NDipp][K(18-C-6)THF2] (2), a rare example of a high-spin (S = 2) iron(II) imido complex. Unusually for a late metal imido complex, the imido ligand in 2 has nucleophilic character, as demonstrated by the reaction with DippNH2, which establishes an equilibrium with the bis(anilido) complex [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe(NHDipp)2][K(18-C-6)THF2] (3). In an unusual transformation, formal insertion of iPrN═C═NiPr into the Fe═N(imido) bond yields the guanidinate [Ph2B(tBuIm)2Fe(iPrN)2CNDipp][K(18-C-6)THF2] (4). Reaction of 4 with excess DippNH2 provides 3, along with the guanidine (iPrNH)2C═NDipp. As suggested by these stoichiometric reactions, 2 is an efficient catalyst for the guanylation of carbodiimides, converting a wide range of aniline substrates under mild conditions.

Abstract
A low-coordinate, high spin (S = 3/2) organometallic iron(I) complex is a catalyst for the isomerization of alkenes. A combination of experimental and computational mechanistic studies supports a mechanism in which alkene isomerization occurs by the allyl mechanism. Importantly, while substrate binding occurs on the S = 3/2 surface, oxidative addition to an η1-allyl intermediate only occurs on the S = 1/2 surface. Since this spin state change is only possible when the alkene substrate is bound, the catalyst has high immunity to typical σ-base poisons due to the antibonding interactions of the high spin state.

Abstract
Since the pioneering work of Kochi in the 1970s, iron has attracted great interest for cross-coupling catalysis due to its low cost and toxicity as well as its potential for novel reactivity compared to analogous reactions with precious metals like palladium. Today there are numerous iron-based cross-coupling methodologies available, including challenging alkyl-alkyl and enantioselective methods. Furthermore, cross-couplings with simple ferric salts and additives like NMP and TMEDA ( N-methylpyrrolidone and tetramethylethylenediamine) continue to attract interest in pharmaceutical applications. Despite the tremendous advances in iron cross-coupling methodologies, in situ formed and reactive iron species and the underlying mechanisms of catalysis remain poorly understood in many cases, inhibiting mechanism-driven methodology development in this field. This lack of mechanism-driven development has been due, in part, to the challenges of applying traditional characterization methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to iron chemistry due to the multitude of paramagnetic species that can form in situ. The application of a broad array of inorganic spectroscopic methods (e.g., electron paramagnetic resonance, 57Fe Mössbauer, and magnetic circular dichroism) removes this barrier and has revolutionized our ability to evaluate iron speciation. In conjunction with inorganic syntheses of unstable organoiron intermediates and combined inorganic spectroscopy/gas chromatography studies to evaluate in situ iron reactivity, this approach has dramatically evolved our understanding of in situ iron speciation, reactivity, and mechanisms in iron-catalyzed cross-coupling over the past 5 years. This Account focuses on the key advances made in obtaining mechanistic insight in iron-catalyzed carbon-carbon cross-couplings using simple ferric salts, iron-bisphosphines, and iron- N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). Our studies of ferric salt catalysis have resulted in the isolation of an unprecedented iron-methyl cluster, allowing us to identify a novel reaction pathway and solve a decades-old mystery in iron chemistry. NMP has also been identified as a key to accessing more stable intermediates in reactions containing nucleophiles with and without β-hydrogens. In iron-bisphosphine chemistry, we have identified several series of transmetalated iron(II)-bisphosphine complexes containing mesityl, phenyl, and alkynyl nucleophile-derived ligands, where mesityl systems were found to be unreliable analogues to phenyls. Finally, in iron-NHC cross-coupling, unique chelation effects were observed in cases where nucleophile-derived ligands contained coordinating functional groups. As with the bisphosphine case, high-spin iron(II) complexes were shown to be reactive and selective in cross-coupling. Overall, these studies have demonstrated key aspects of iron cross-coupling and the utility of detailed speciation and mechanistic studies for the rational improvement and development of iron cross-coupling methods.

Abstract
Iron and N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have proven to be a successful pair in catalysis, with reactivity and selectivity being highly dependent on the nature of the NHC ligand backbone saturation and N-substituents. Four (NHC)Fe(1,3-dioxan-2-ylethyl)2 complexes have been isolated and spectroscopically characterized to correlate their reactivity to steric effects of the NHC from both the backbone saturation and N-substituents. Only in the extreme case of SIPr where NHC backbone and N-substituent steric effects are the largest is there a major structural perturbation observed crystallographically. The addition of only two hydrogen atoms is sufficient for a drastic change in product selectivity in the coupling of 1-iodo-3-phenylpropane with (2-(1,3-dioxan-2-yl)ethyl)magnesium bromide due to resulting structural perturbations to the precatalyst. Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic circular dichroism enabled the correlation of covalency and steric bulk in the SIPr case to its poor selectivity in alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling with iron. Density functional theory calculations provided insight into the electronic structure and molecular orbital effects of ligation changes to the iron center. Finally, charge donation analysis and Mayer bond order calculations further confirmed the stronger Fe-ligand bonding in the SIPr complex. Overall, these studies highlight the importance of considering both N-substituent and backbone steric contributions to structure, bonding, and reactivity in iron-NHCs.

Abstract
High-oxidation-state 3d metal species have found a wide range of applications in modern synthetic chemistry and materials science. They are also implicated as key reactive species in biological reactions. These applications have thus prompted explorations of their formation, structure, and properties. While the traditional wisdom regarding these species was gained mainly from complexes supported by nitrogen- and oxygen-donor ligands, recent studies with N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), which are widely used for the preparation of low-oxidation-state transition metal complexes in organometallic chemistry, have led to the preparation of a large variety of isolable high-oxidation-state 3d metal complexes with NHC ligation. Since the first report in this area in the 1990s, isolable complexes of this type have been reported for titanium(IV), vanadium(IV,V), chromium(IV,V), manganese(IV,V), iron(III,IV,V), cobalt(III,IV,V), nickel(IV), and copper(II). With the aim of providing an overview of this intriguing field, this Review summarizes our current understanding of the synthetic methods, structure and spectroscopic features, reactivity, and catalytic applications of high-oxidation-state 3d metal NHC complexes of titanium to copper. In addition to this progress, factors affecting the stability and reactivity of high-oxidation-state 3d metal NHC species are also presented, as well as perspectives on future efforts.

Abstract
While iron-NHC catalysed cross-couplings have been shown to be effective for a wide variety of reactions (e.g. aryl-aryl, aryl-alkyl, alkyl-alkyl), the nature of the in situ formed and reactive iron species in effective catalytic systems remains largely undefined. In the current study, freeze-trapped Mössbauer spectroscopy, and EPR studies combined with inorganic synthesis and reaction studies are utilised to define the key in situ formed and reactive iron-NHC species in the Kumada alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling of (2-(1,3-dioxan-2-yl)ethyl)magnesium bromide and 1-iodo-3-phenylpropane. The key reactive iron species formed in situ is identified as (IMes)Fe((1,3-dioxan-2-yl)ethyl)2, whereas the S = 1/2 iron species previously identified in this chemistry is found to be only a very minor off-cycle species (<0.5% of all iron). Reaction and kinetic studies demonstrate that (IMes)Fe((1,3-dioxan-2-yl)ethyl)2 is highly reactive towards the electrophile resulting in two turnovers with respect to iron (kobs > 24 min-1) to generate cross-coupled product with overall selectivity analogous to catalysis. The high resistance of this catalytic system to β-hydride elimination of the alkyl nucleophile is attributed to its chelation to iron through ligation of carbon and one oxygen of the acetal moiety of the nucleophile. In fact, alternative NHC ligands such as SIPr are less effective in catalysis due to their increased steric bulk inhibiting the ability of the alkyl ligands to chelate. Overall, this study identifies a novel alkyl chelation method to achieve effective alkyl-alkyl cross-coupling with iron(ii)-NHCs, provides direct structural insight into NHC effects on catalytic performance and extends the importance of iron(ii) reactive species in iron-catalysed cross-coupling.

Abstract
Controlled multicarbometalation of alkynes has been envisaged as an efficient synthetic method for dienyl and polyenyl metal reagents, but an effective catalyst enabling the transformation has remained elusive. Herein, we report that an iron(II)-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex (IEt2Me2)2FeCl2 (IEt2Me2 = 1,3-diethyl-4,5-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene) can serve as a precatalyst for the double carbometalation of internal unsymmetrical alkynes with alkyl Grignard reagents, producing highly substituted 1,3-dienyl magnesium reagents with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest the involvement of low-coordinate organoiron(II)-NHC species as the in-cycle intermediates. The strong σ-donating nature of IEt2Me2 and its appropriate steric property are thought the key factors endowing the iron-NHC catalyst fine performance.
