A DFT Study on Fe<sup>I</sup>/Fe<sup>II</sup>/Fe<sup>III</sup> Mechanism of the Cross-Coupling between Haloalkane and Aryl Grignard Reagent Catalyzed by Iron-SciOPP Complexes

To explore plausible reaction pathways of the cross-coupling reaction between a haloalkane and an aryl metal reagent catalyzed by an iron–phosphine complex, we examine the reaction of FeBrPh(SciOPP)<b> 1</b> and bromocycloheptane employing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Be...
