The title complex, [Fe2(C2H5S)3(C12H21Si)2], has an unusual Fe2S3 core. The two 1,2,3,4-tetra­methyl-5-(trimethyl­silyl)cyclo­penta­dienyl (Cp′) ligands coordinate to the Fe atoms with their C5 planes perpendicular [dihedral angles = 88.23 (7) and 88.55 (7)°] to the Fe—Fe vector, building two Cp′Fe subunits. These two subunits are bridged by three thiol­ate ligands. There are no significant differences in the coordination geometries between the two Fe atoms. The short Fe—Fe distance of 2.7842 (5) Å is clear evidence of an inter­metallic bond. Such a diiron–sulfur structure might act as a model of active sites in some metalloproteins.

Comment top

As shown in Fig. 1, the title compound is a dimeric complex, in which each Fe atom is coordinated by a 1,2,3,4-tetramethyl-5-(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl (Cp') ligand and three ethanethiolate ligands. The C5 planes of the two Cp' ligands are perpendicular to the Fe—Fe vector, with angles of 1.89 (7) and 1.45 (7)° between the normals of the planes and the vector. Three thiolate ligands bridge two Fe atoms (Table 1). The plane of the three S atoms is approximately parallel to the Cp' planes with dihedral angles of 1.77 (8) and 1.55 (8)°, respectively, and bisects the Fe—Fe bond. There are no significant differences in the coordination geometries between the two Fe centers. The short Fe—Fe distance of 2.7842 (5) Å is clear evidence of intermetallic bond.

Experimental top

To a stirred suspension of Cp'Li (1.28 g, 6.38 mmol) in 50 ml THF was added anhydrous FeCl2 (0.81 g, 6.38 mmol) at 0°C, followed by stirring for 1 h. The resultant olive-green [Cp'FeCl]2 solution was cooled to -78°C. Then, a suspension of LiSEt in THF, which was prepared by reaction of n-BuLi (2.20 ml, 2.9 M solution in n-hexane) and HSEt (0.48 ml, 6.38 mmol) at 0°C, was transferred via a cannula to the cooled solution of [Cp'FeCl]2. The mixture was placed in a -78°C bath for 1 h and stirred overnight as it warmed to ambient temperature. The resulting red-violet solution was evaporated to dryness, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on neutral alumina with n-hexane as the eluent to give complex [Cp'Fe(µ-SEt)3FeCp'] (yield 0.42 g, 19%) as violet microcrystalline solid. The crystals of the title complex suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained from a benzene solution layered with acetonitrile.

Refinement top

H atoms were visible in difference Fourier maps and were subsequently treated as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.96 (CH3) and 0.97 (CH2) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2(1.5 for methyl)Ueq(C).
