Abstract
A pair of tetranuclear iron complexes consisting of two Fe-2(Cl(2)bdt)(CO)(5) subunits (Cl(2)bdt = 3,6-dicholorobenzene-1,2-dithiolate) bridged by different cyclic 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane (P2N2) ligands were prepared and structurally characterized. In the solid state, the P2N2 ligands adopt a boat conformation, which results in rather short distances between the two Fe-2(Cl(2)bdt)(CO)(5) clusters that promotes electronic communication across the diphosphine ligand.
