The redox properties of a family of dihydride and dihydrogen complexes of iron, cobalt, rhodium, and iridium havebeen studied in detail and comparedwith those of the corresponding monohydrido derivatives. All of the complexes contain as stabilizing coligands either P (CH2CH2PPh2) 3 (PP3) or N (CH2CH2PPh2) 3 (NP3). The novel dihydride [(PP3) Fe (H) 2] and its isotopomers [(PP3) Fe (H)(D)] and [(PP3) Fe (D) 2] have been fully characterized by IR and and 3, P NMR techniques. The complexes [(PP3) Co (H2)] PF6 and [(PP3) Rh (H2)] BF4, which exhibit the nonclassical dihydrogen structure, undergo in tetrahydrofuran irreversible one-electron oxidation. As a result, the deprotonation of the H2 ligand occurs and the starting jj1 2-H2 compounds are converted to the corresponding monohydrides [(PP3) MH]+(M= Co, Rh). In contrast, the classical dihydrides [(L) Ir (H) 2] BPh4 (L= PP3, NP3) and [(NP3) Rh (H) 2] BPh4 show no redox activity within the potential window of tetrahydrofuran. The dihydride [(PP3) Fe (H) 2)] can be oxidized to give the unstable species [(PP3) Fe (H) 2]+ and [(PP3) Fe (H) 2] 2+, but no deprotonation reaction occurs. The c/s-(hydride)(dihydrogen) complex [(PP3) Fe (H)(H2)] BPh4 undergoes one-electron reduction in tetrahydrofuran to give the neutraldihydride. Rare examples of paramagnetic monohydrides of cobalt (II), rhodium (II), iron (I), and iron (II) have been synthesized chemically or electrochemically and characterized by X-band ESR spectroscopy.The bonding model for t? 2-H2 coordination, occurring through cooperative-donation/ir-back-donation effects, bears some re-semblance to metal-olefin-bonding. 1" 3 However, only for H2 can the interaction between a suitable Filled metal orbital and*(-) be strong enough to promote the cleavage of the molecule. When this occurs, and in most instances it does, the formal oxidationstate of the metal is increased by 2 units and a metal dihydride forms. Accordingly, provided a change in the oxidation state of the metal occurs on going from M-(H2) to M-(H) 2, a study of the redox properties of the complexes could be extremely useful in elucidating the structure. To explore such a possiblity, we began a detailed study on the redox properties of several known and novel complexes of group VIII metals for which eitherthe classical or the nonclassical structure havebeen determined. The following compoundshave been investigated:[(PP3) Co (H2)] PF6 (l), 23 [(PP3) Rh (H) 2] BF4 (2), 4 [(PP3) Ir (H) 2] BPh4 (13), 5 [(NP3) Rh (H) 2] BPh4 (14), 6 [(NP3) Ir (H) 2] BPh4 (IS), 6 [(PP3) Fe (H) 2](3), and [(PP3) Fe-(H)(H2)] BPh4 (4) 2i [PP3= P (CH2CH2PPh2) 3; NP3=
