An unusual bonding mode for a dithiocarboxylate ligand: a tetradentate interaction; X-ray crystal structure of the product of the reaction of nonacarbonyldi-iron with 1,2-benzodithiole-3-thione
Abstract
The compound 1,2-benzodithiole-3-thione (1), on reaction with Fe2(CO)9, incorporates two Fe2(CO)6 units giving complex (2), the structure of which has been determined by X-ray crystallography; it contains a novel tetradentate RCS2 ligand possessing an iron–carbon bond.
