Mercaptide insertion reactions of an iron–iron bond

Abstract

The reaction between (CF3)2C2S2 and [{Fe(XR)(CO)3}2](XR = SMe, SEt, SPh, or SePh) affords the salts [Fe2(XR)3(CO)6]+[{Fe{(CF3)2C2S2}2}2]. A reaction sequence is proposed involving oxidation of [{Fe(XR)(CO)3}2] to [{Fe(XR)(CO)3}2]+ followed by formal insertion of RX· into the iron–iron bond to give [Fe2(XR)3(CO)6]+. Thus the compounds [Fe2(XR)3(CO)6]+[PF6](XR = SMe or SPh) were prepared from [{Fe(XR)(CO)3}2] using NOPF6 as the oxidising agent.
