  1. The reactivity of PCcarbeneP iron carbenes, was investigated toward imines, ketones, diazenes, 2-vinylpyridine, and 8-methylquinoline, revealing the directed activation of aryl, vinyl, or benzyl C–H bonds by 1,2-addition across the iron-carbene bond.

  2. Olefin metathesis catalyzed by iron complexes has garnered substantial interest due to iron’s abundance and nontoxicity relative to ruthenium, yet its full potential remains untapped, largely because of the propensity of iron carbenes to undergo cyclopropanation instead of cycloreversion from a metallacycle intermediate. In this report, we elucidate the reactions of [{PC(sp2)P}Fe(L)(N2)], ([PC(sp2)P] = bis[2-(diisopropylphosphino)phenyl]methylene) with strained olefins, unveiling their capability to yield metathesis-related products. Our investigations led to the isolation of a structurally characterized metallacyclobutane during the reaction with norbornadiene derivatives, ultimately leading to a ring-opened iron alkylidene. These findings provide compelling evidence that iron complexes adhere to the Chauvin olefin metathesis mechanism.
