| Transition metal hydride complexes have received considerable interest because of their participation in bond transformations as well as their extensive reactivity. We are particularly interested in low-coordinate iron hydrides, anticipating high reactivity due to the unsaturated metal center. Furthermore, biological interest in low-coordinate iron hydrides stems from both the growing evidence for low-coordinate iron atom in FeMoco and the proposed reactive metal hydride intermediates in the nitrogenase reduction cycle. Here we report the behavior of a low-coordinate iron hydride complex, [LMeFeH]2 (LMe = β-diketiminate ligand), and its reactions with nitrogenase substrates and different Lewis acids.
