Abstract
A series of paramagnetic di(aryl)alkynylphosphine oxides 3a-c[PF6] featuring an open-shell [Fe(κ2-dppe)(η5-C5Me5)]+ endgroup were obtained by oxidation of their neutral Fe(ii) parents 3a-c, themselves obtained in a simple and nearly quantitative fashion from the corresponding Fe(ii) metallophosphines 1a-c. The new organometallic radicals were characterised by NMR and ESR and were shown to be perfectly stable in solution, in contrast to species such as 1a-b[PF6] which readily dimerise.
