Abstract

In this paper, three diiron butane-2,3-dithiolate complexes [Fe2(CO)5L{µ-SCH(CH3)CH(CH3)S}] [L = P(4-C6H4F)3, 2; P(4-C6H4OCH3)3, 3; P(3-C6H4Cl)3, 4] have been synthesized by CO substitution of the starting complex [Fe2(CO)6{µ-SCH(CH3)CH(CH3)S}] (1) with the corresponding monophosphine coligands in the presence of Me3NO·2H2O as the decarbonylating agent in 61‒74% yields. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In addition, electrochemical studies revealed that these complexes can catalyze the reduction of proton to H2 in the presence of acetic acid under the electrochemical conditions.
