H/D exchange between the hydrido ligands in the highly unsaturated dinuclear iron tetrahydrido complex 1 occurs on addition of dihydrogen or C6D6. Complex 1, which is formed by treatment of [(η5-C5Me5)FeCl(NMe2CH2CH2NMe2)] with LiAlH4, reacts with Ph2SiH2 or PPh2H with retention of the diiron framework to afford a μ-silylene complex or a bis-μ-phosphido complex, respectively.
