Abstract

Abstract Four diiron hexacarbonyl complexes,[Fe 2 (μ-SCH 2-oC 6 H 4 OMe) 2 (CO) 6](4a),[Fe 2 {μ-SCH 2-o, mC 6 H 3 (OMe) 2} 2 (CO) 6](4b),[Fe 2 {μ-SCH 2-o, o′-C 6 H 3 (CO 2 Me)(OMe)} 2 (CO) 6](4c) and the demethylated form of complex 4a,[Fe 2 (μ-SCH 2-oC 6 H 4 OH) 2 (CO) 6](5a), were synthesised and fully characterised. Complexes 4b and 4c were also structurally analysed. Electrochemical investigations revealed that the integrity of the ...
