19. 2 with 20 equivalents PhMgBr, suggesting that the ligand 4-a can be displaced by a large excess of Grignard to give a phosphine-free iron(I) complex. Interestingly, the last experiment also revealed that a soluble iron(I) species is accessible under conditions in which Fe nanoparticles are formed.
