Description
Summary:The title compound, [Fe2(C9H11NS2){Fe(C5H5)(C17H14P)}(CO)5], was prepared as an azadithiolato–iron model for the iron-only hydrogenase active site. The Fe2S2 unit exhibits a butterfly conformation and the ferrocenyldiphenylphosphine ligand is trans to the Fe—Fe bond. The Fe—Fe distance of 2.5160 (8) Å is longer than found in related model structures. Intramolecular C—H...S and intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds are observed.
