Syntheses and Characterization of Two Diiron Dithiolate Complexes Containing 4-Dimethylaminopyridine

【摘要】 Two diiron dithiolate complexes, (μ-pdt)Fe2(CO)5(C7H10N2) 3 and (μ-edt)-Fe2(CO)5(C7H10N2) 4 (pdt = -S(CH2)3S-, edt = -S(CH2)2S-), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 10.168(4), b = 11.816(4), c = 16.595(7)  and β = 95.195(6)o; and complex 4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P212121 with a = 9.317(3), b = 11.898(4), c = 34.006(10)  .The distances of Fe(1)–Fe(2) are 2.5058(9)  in 3 and 2.4942(10)  in 4, falling in the normal range of Fe–Fe bond length (2.49～2.57 ). The cyclic voltammograms show that 3 and 4 display irreversible reduction peaks (FeIFeI/ FeIFe0) at –1.717 V and –1.673 V vs. Ag/AgCl, respectively. With different acids, complex 3 has distinguishable behavior, two protonations in addition of HBF4-Et2O and single protonation besides HOAc-CH3CN, and complex 4 has a similar action to 3 with HOAc-CH3CN for a semblable structure.更多还原
