S. Gao and X.-J. Peng

Abstract: The title compound, [Fe₂(C₁₇H₁₅NS₂)(CO)₆], has been prepared as an azadithiolatoiron model for the active site of iron-only hydrogenase. Each Fe atom is coordinated by two S atoms and three carbonyl groups in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry and the Fe-Fe bond length [2.5040 (8) Å] agrees with values found in other model structures.
