The reductive coupling and functionalisation of CO by iron(II) diaryls 1Mes and 1Xyl. a General scheme for the reaction between CO and iron(II) diaryls 1Mes or 1Xyl. b The molecular structure of 2Mes with anisotropic displacement ellipsoids set at 50% probability. Mesityl groups shown as wireframe, hydrogen atoms and one molecule of hexane solvent are omitted for clarity. c The molecular structure of 3Mes with anisotropic displacement ellipsoids set at 50% probability. Mesityl groups shown as wireframe and hydrogen atoms have been omitted for clarity. Selected bond distances (Å) and angles (°) for 3Mes: Fe1–O1 1.9736(11), Fe1–O2 1.9357(11), Fe1–O3 2.1909(13), Fe1–O4 2.0232(12), O1–Fe1–O2 109.30(5), O3–Fe1–O4 61.77(5)
