Popis: Photochemical reactions of [Fe(CO)5] with dibenzothiophene (DBT) derivatives bearing a N-donor group produced a series of C,S-bridged diiron carbonyl complexes [{Fe(μ-L′-κ3N,C,S)(CO)2}Fe(CO)3], as previously reported for 4-(2′-pyridyl)dibenzothiophene (L1), where L′ represents the N,C,S-tridentate ligands L1′–L5′, formed by C–S bond cleavage of L1–L5, respectively. The DBT derivatives used in this study have Schiff base or oxazoline moieties at the 4-position: L2 = PhCH2N═CH-DBT, L3 = 2-MeOC6H4CH2N═CH-DBT, L4 = (S)-PhC(Me)HN═CH-DBT, L5 = (R)-4-isopropyl-2-oxazolinyl-DBT. The diiron complexes were characterized by NMR, absorption, and circular dichroism spectroscopy, and the dinuclear structures bridged by thiolate S and aryl C atoms were established by X-ray crystallography. The diiron complex [{Fe(μ-L′-κ3N,C,S)(CO)2}Fe(CO)3] consists of two units, Fe(L′)(CO)2 and Fe(CO)3: the latter unit is located on a thiolate-containing metallacycle in the former one. The chiral Schiff base ligand precursor L4 gave a ...
