Carbon-sulfur bond cleavage reactions of dibenzothiophene derivatives mediated by iron and ruthenium carbonyls

摘要

A thermal reaction of 6-(4′′-dibenzothienyl)-2, 2′- bipyridine (bpyDBT) with [Ru3(CO)12] produced a sulfur-bridged triruthenium complex via double carbon-sulfur bond cleavage and CO insertion, while a diiron(i, i) complex containing a thiametallacycle was obtained by a photochemical reaction of bpyDBT with [Fe(CO)5].
