Abstract
The synthesis and characterisation of two diiron hexacarbonyl complexes [Fe2(SXS)(CO)6], 1 (SXS = ((−SCH2)2C(CH3)CH2OCOFc, Fc = ferrocenyl group) and 2 (SXS = (−SCH2CH2NHCOFc)2), were described. By using intramolecularly integrated ferrocenyl group(s) in the complexes as an internal standard, the nature of two stepwise one-electron processes of the complexes coupled with a chemical reaction was clearly demonstrated. Examining how the reduction transformed into sole one-electron process with both increasing scanning rate under Ar/CO atmosphere and lowering temperature indicated conclusively that the reduction of both complexes couples to a chemical reaction which involves CO-loss.
