Abstract;The migration tendencies of EH2R(E=group 14 element; R=H, or CH3) groups in the cationic phosphenium complexes of iron, Cp(CO)(EH2R)Fe{PN(H)CH2CH2N(H)}+ have been studied using DFT method. The calculations suggest that all the 1,2-migrations are feasible reactions and CH3 and CH2R groups have very high tendency for it. On the other hand, for the 1,3-migrations, much higher activation energy is required compared to the 1,2-migrations. Among the 1,3-migrations, the one involving SnH2R group is the easiest reaction. Mulliken charge distribution changes drastically with the nature of the migrating group and for the 1,2-migration it shows a linear correlation with the energy level diagram. (author abst.)
