Synthesis and characterization of the dinuclear iron-sulfur cluster {bis[(1,1'-ditholatoferrocene-#mu#-sulfido-ferrate(III)]}~(2-)

摘要

The novel iron-sulfur cluster dimer {bis[(1,1'-dithiolatoferrocene-#mu#-sulfido-ferrate(III)]}~(2-) is prepared as the tetrapropylammonium salt in a one-pot synthesis from 1,1'-trithiaferrocenophane, FeCl_3, and ~tBuS~-. The X-ray crystallogrphy, electronic spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and magnetic susceptibility of this complex are reported and compared and contrasted to previously prepared iron-sulfur dimer complexes with organic thiolate ligands.
