Abstract

Reaction of [μ-SC6H3(CH3)S-μ]Fe2(CO)6 (1) with 2 equivalents of PPh3 gave the monosubstituted complex [μ-SC6H3(CH3)S-μ]Fe2(CO)5(PPh3) (2) plus the disubstituted [μ-SC6H3(CH3)S-μ]Fe2(CO)4(PPh3)2 (3), while the complexes [μ-SC6H3(CH3)S-μ]Fe2(CO)5[P(3-C6H4CH3)3] (4) and [μ-SC6H3(CH3)S-μ]Fe2(CO)5[P(4-C6H4F)3] (5) were prepared by the reactions of 1 with P(3-C6H4CH3)3 or P(4-C6H4F)3 in the presence of Me3NO. Complexes 35 were characterized by IR, NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecular structures of 35 reveal that in each case, the phosphine ligand occupies the apical position in an overall distorted square pyramidal iron(I) complex geometry.
