Abstract

An unprecedented coordiantion mode for a diyne ligand is present in the Fe4 complex 2, which is accessible by thermolysis of the alkyne complex 1 in toluene at 373 K. In 2 the μ4-η2 acetylide ligands on each Fe4 face are linked together by a CC bond through the plane of four metal atoms.
