Crystal and molecular structure of bis(tetramethylammonium) di(π-(1)-2-thiollyl)iron(II)

The crystal and molecular structure of bis(tetramethylammonium)di(-(1)-2-thiollyl)iron(II), C₈H₄₄B₂₀FeN₂S₂, has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data collected by counter techniques. The material crystallizes in the orthorhombic system: space groupIbam, z=4, a=15·585(5), b=12·324(4), and c=14·806(6) Å. The B₁₀H₁₀S^2– moiety is an icosahedron with the sulphur atom and four boron atoms forming that part of the cage which is within bonding distance of the iron. The sulphur atom and one boron atom are disordered. The structure was solved by standard techniques and the least squares refinement, using 969 independent reflexions for whichF ₀ ² 3(F ₀ ²), converged to a conventionalR factor (onF) of 4·2%.No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, microfilming, recording or otherwise, without written permission of Plenum Publishing Company Limited.National Lending Library Supplementary Publication No. 60063 contains 2 pages of structure tables on 1 microfiche.
