Reaction of [(畏5-C5H4Me)4Fe4(HCCH)(HCC鈥揃r)](PF6) with tBuNH2 forms [(畏5-C5H4Me)4Fe4(HCCH)(HCC鈥揘HtBu)](PF6), of which one electron oxidation leads to carbon鈥揷arbon bond cleavage to give [(畏5-C5H4Me)4Fe4(HCCH)(渭3-CH)(渭3-CNHtBu)](PF6)2, and further treatment with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) affords [(畏5-C5H4Me)4Fe4(HCCH)(渭3-CH)(渭3-畏1-CNtBu)](PF6). Thus, the HCCBr group is converted to tBuNC and CH groups on the redox-responsive tetrairon core.
