μ4-Orthothiocarbonato-tetrakis[tricarbonyliron(I)](2 Fe—Fe)
Abstract
The fused bis-butterfly-shaped title compound, [Fe4(CS4)(CO)12], possesses an orthothiocarbonate (CS44−) ligand that acts as a bridge between two Fe2(CO)6 units. A short intramolecular S...S contact [2.6984 (8) and 2.6977 (8) Å] occurs in each S2Fe2(CO)6 fragment.
