Description
Summary:The title compound, [Fe2(C14H10NS2)2(CO)6], was synthesized as a structural and biochemical model for the active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenase. The bond lengths (Fe—Fe, Fe—S and Fe—C) and angles (C—Fe—Fe and Fe—S—Fe) are within expected ranges. The S...S distance [2.9069 (12) Å] and the dihedral angle between two Fe—S—Fe planes [78.5 (3)°] of the butterfly-shaped Fe2S2 core are enlarged compared with related bridged dithiolate diiron analogues. The calculated 4-benzothiazolebenzyl best planes are almost parallel [dihedral angle = 3.7 (7)°].
