title: [FeIII(SR)4]1- complexes can be synthesized by the direct reaction of thiolates with FeCl3.
abstract: It is shown that the previously characterized [Fe(III)(SR)(4)](1-) (R=Et, i-Pr, Ph) complexes can be synthesized by the direct reaction of 4equiv. of LiSR with FeCl(3) in DMF solution. [Fe(III)(SR)(4)](1-) complexes are synthetic analogs for the [Fe(III)(S-Cys)(4)] center in rubredoxin proteins.
