In the title compound, [Fe2(C7H4IN)(C3H6S2)(CO)5], the Fe—Fe distance of 2.5156 (11) Å compares well with that in related model structures. The phenyl isocyanide ligand is in the basal position and trans to the S atoms of the propanedithiolate ligand due to The features C—H⋯O interactions.

A solution of Fe2(S2C3H6)(CO)6 (Winter et al. 1982) (1.5 g, 3.88 mmol) in 100 ml MeCN was treated with a solution of Me3NO.2H2O (433 mg, 3.9 mmol) in 30 ml of MeCN followed by a solution of p- benzylisocyanide (895 mg, 3.9 mmol) in 30 ml of MeCN at ambient temperature. After 2 h at this temperature, the solvent was removed in vacuo, and the resulting red residue was purified on silica gel to give title compound as a red solid (1.94 g, 85% yield). Single crystals of the title compound for X-ray analysis were grown by slow evaporation. A near
of the title compound was prepared in a CH2Cl2 -hexane (1:5 v/v) solution. The solution was then being left in a glass tube that has a perforated cap at ambient temperature. After one week, some of the crystals grow on the side of the tube.Carbon-bound H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.97Å for methylene and 0.93 Å for aromatic, and refined using a riding model, with Uiso (H) = 1.2 Ueq (C). The hydroxyl H atom was positioned geometrically and freely refined.

(Cammack et al. 1999, Nicolet et al. 2000, Frey et al. 2002) The active site of [Fe]H2ase is consisted of a 2Fe2S linked to a [4Fe4S] cluster by a bridged cysteine sulfur (Peters et al. 1998, Nicolet et al. 1999). In the 2Fe2S unit, the two iron atoms are coordinated by CO and CN– ligands. We have prepared the title complex as a structural model for the iron-only hydrogenases active site. Herein we report its crystal structure.
The molecular structure of the title complex is shown in Fig.1 and selected bond distances are listed in Table 1. The crystal packing diagram reveals that molecules of the title compound form layers in the yz plane (Fig. 2) and the intermolecular interactions present in the structure are listed in Table 2. The Fe—Fe distance of 2.5157 (14) Å compares well with that in the (µ-PDT) Fe2 (CO)6 analogous structure (Lyon et al., 1999). The phenyl isocyanide ligand is in the basal position and trans to the sulfur atoms of the propanedithiolate ligand due to the σ-donating of the isocyanide ligand with iron center. The π-π conjugation between CN triple bond and phenyl ring is somewhat interrupted in the solid state, as the angle of C(9) N(1) C(10) is 169.8 (9)°, indicating a slight distorting from linearity.
The Fe—CN distance of 1.87 Å is longer than Fe—CO distance of 1.79–1.81 Å, suggesting the strong electronThe title compound was prepared as a model for the iron-only hydrogenase ([Fe]H2ase) active site.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The iron-only Hydrogenases ([Fe]H2ase) in microorganisms can catalyze the reversible reduction of protons to hydrogen according to the reaction: 2H++2 e-=H2. (Cammack et al. 1999, Nicolet et al. 2000, Frey et al. 2002) The active site of [Fe]H2ase is consisted of a 2Fe2S linked to a [4Fe4S] cluster by a bridged cysteine sulfur (Peters et al. 1998, Nicolet et al. 1999). In the 2Fe2S unit, the two iron atoms are coordinated by CO and CN– ligands. We have prepared the title complex as a structural model for the iron-only hydrogenases active site. Herein we report its crystal structure.
The molecular structure of the title complex is shown in Fig.1 and selected bond distances are listed in Table 1. The crystal packing diagram reveals that molecules of the title compound form layers in the yz plane (Fig. 2) and the intermolecular interactions present in the structure are listed in Table 2. The Fe—Fe distance of 2.5157 (14) Å compares well with that in the (µ-PDT) Fe2 (CO)6 analogous structure (Lyon et al., 1999). The phenyl isocyanide ligand is in the basal position and trans to the sulfur atoms of the propanedithiolate ligand due to the steric hindrance. The Fe—CN distance of 1.87 Å is longer than Fe—CO distance of 1.79–1.81 Å, suggesting the strong electron σ-donating of the isocyanide ligand with iron center. The π-π conjugation between CN triple bond and phenyl ring is somewhat interrupted in the solid state, as the angle of C(9) N(1) C(10) is 169.8 (9)°, indicating a slight distorting from linearity.
