The redox-active pincer ligand derived from bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-phenol)amine, [ONOcat]H3, enables reductive elimination of di-tert-butyldisulfide from a putative iron(III) dithiolate complex. The quinonate synthon of the ligand, [ONOq]K, was used to prepare [ONOq]FeX2 complexes (1, X = Cl; 2, X = N(SiMe3)2), which were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, EPR and Mössbauer spectroscopies and identified to be high-spin iron(III) complexes. The protonolysis of 2 with tetrachlorocatechol afforded either monomeric [ONOq]Fe(ortho-C6O2Cl4)(py) (3) or dimeric {[ONOq]Fe(ortho-C6O2Cl4)}2 (4). In contrast, the protonolysis of 2 with tert-butylthiol resulted in the extrusion of di-tert-butyldisulfide and the formation of a [ONOcat]Fe fragment trapped with pyridine as monomeric [ONOcat]Fe(py)3 (5) or dimeric {[ONOcat]Fe(py)}2 (6). These results indicate that the [ONO]Fe platform can promote reductive elimination of disulfide without incurring changes to the metal oxidation state.
