Undecacarbonyl-μ2-methanethiolato-μ2-[(pyridin-2-yl)methanethiolato]-μ4-sulfido-tetrairon(II)(2 Fe—Fe)

Abstract

The title compound, [Fe4(C6H6NS)(CH3S)S(CO)11], comprises two butterfly-shaped sub-cluster cores, Fe2S2N and Fe2S2, joined together by a spiro-type μ4-S atom. The (pyridin-2-yl)methanethiolate ligand is attached to the Fe2(CO)5 unit in a μ-κN:κ2S mode, and the methanethiolate ligand is coordinated to the Fe2(CO)6 unit in a μ-κ2S fashion.
