The first examples of sulfur-donor ligand ortho-metallated complexes were obtained in good to excellent yields by reaction of various thiobenzophenones and a thiobenzoate with diiron enneacarbonyl in benzene at room temperature. The known trinuclear complex S2Fe3(CO)9 was a by-product of these reactions, and complexes of the type (Ar2C)S2Fe2(CO)6 were formed in several instances. The structures of these complexes were established on the basis of microanalytical and spectral data as well as by reductive cleavage experiments. Oxidative or photolytic cleavage of the ortho-metallated complexes provides a convenient …
