Abstract

(Figure Presented) World's record: The first isolation and structural characterization of a homoleptic isocyanidemetalate dianion has been achieved with [Fe(CNXyl)₄]^2- (Xyl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl; see structure, Fe red, N blue, C gray). Spectral and structural data indicate that metal-to-isocyanide back-bonding in this electron-rich species is the largest ever observed in a homoleptic isocyanide complex containing only terminally bound ligands.
