The water-soluble iron phosphine complex trans-Fe(DMeOPrPE)(2)Cl(2) (DMeOPrPE = 1,2-bis(bis(methoxypropyl)phosphino)ethane) reacts with H(2) in water to produce trans-[Fe(DMeOPrPE)(2)H(H(2))](+) and H(+). The product is a water-soluble eta(2)-H(2) metal hydride complex, formed via the heterolysis of coordinated H(2) in water.
