ABSTRACT
Treatment of (μ-SCH2CH2CH2S-μ)Fe2(CO)6 with equimolar 2-C5H4NPPh2 in the presence of Me3NO·2H2O in CH2Cl2/MeCN solutions gave the title complex (μ-SCH2CH2CH2S-μ)Fe2(CO)5(2-C5H4NPPh2) in 76% yield. The title complex was characterized by spectroscopy as well as by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecular structure consists of a butterfly [Fe2S2] cluster with propane, five carbonyls, and 2-C5H4NPPh2. In the crystal packing diagram, intermolecular C–H···O hydrogen bonds between phenyl and carbonyl groups stabilize the solid state.
