Abstract

Dodecacarbonyltri-iron, [Fe3(CO)12], reacts with an excess of CS2 in hexane at 80°C under a CO-Ar atmosphere (1 : 1, pressure ca. 10 atm) to give a number of products including, in low yield, [Fe4(CO)12(C2S4)] which, on the basis of a single-crystal X-ray analysis, has been shown to contain two Fe 2(CO)6 units bridged by a C2S4 unit which may be regarded as a derivative of ethenetetrathiol.
