| Abstract: | Four diiron toluenedithiolate complexes 2–5 with monophosphine ligands are reported. Treatment of [μ-SC6H3(CH3)S-μ]Fe2(CO)6 (1) with tris(3-chlorophenyl)phosphine, tris(4-chlorophenyl)phosphine, tris(4-methylphenyl)phosphine or 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde, and Me3NO?2H2O in MeCN resulted in the formation of [μ-SC6H3(CH3)S-μ]Fe2(CO)5[P(3-C6H4Cl)3] (2), [μ-SC6H3(CH3)S-μ]Fe2(CO)5[P(4-C6H4Cl)3] (3), [μ-SC6H3(CH3)S-μ]Fe2(CO)5[P(4-C6H4CH3)3] (4), and [μ-SC6H3(CH3)S-μ]Fe2(CO)5[Ph2P(2-C6H4CHO)] (5) in 64–82% yields. Complexes 2–5 have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 31P{1H} NMR, 13C{1H} NMR and further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecular structures show that 2–5 contain a butterfly diiron toluenedithiolate cluster coordinated by five terminal carbonyls and an apical monophosphine. |
