Stereochemistry of electrophilic attack at 34e− dimetallic complexes: the case of diiron dithiolato carbonyls + MeS+†
Abstract
Experimental and computational experiments show that the electrophile MeS+ attacks a single Fe center in Fe2(propanedithiolate)(CO)4(PMe3)2 followed by isomerization of this terminal thiolato complex to the corresponding μ-SMe derivative.
