Abstract

The γ-hydroxypropyl-functionalised diiron dithiolate complex [Fe2(CO)6(μ-SCH2CH2CH2OH)2] is prepared upon thermolysis of Fe3(CO)12 and HO(CH2)3SH and further reaction with dppm (dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) affords [Fe2(CO)4(μ-dppm)(μ-SCH2CH2CH2OH)2]. From the reaction of Fe3(CO)12 with dppm(S2) a minor product is the tetrairon cluster, [{Fe2(CO)6(μ-SCH2CH2CH2OH)}2(μ4-S)], the mode of formation of which is unclear. It has been crystallographically characterised and adopts a μ4-S bridged double butterfly structure which is compared with other crystallographically characterised complexes of this type.
