title: Octa-carbon-yl(5-meth-oxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)di-μ(3)-sulfido-diiron(I)iron(II)(2 Fe-Fe).
abstract: The title compound, [Fe(3)(C(8)H(8)N(2)O)S(2)(CO)(8)], was prepared by the direct reaction of Fe(3)(CO)(12) and 5-meth-oxy-1H-benzoimidazole-2-thiol in tetra-hydro-furan. Desulfurization took place readily to form a sulfide carbonyl cluster. The mol-ecule contains a triangle consisting of three Fe atoms capped by two S atoms above and below. There are two Fe-Fe bonds [2.6322 (5) and 2.5582 (5) Å] in the triangle; the length of the third edge [3.3987 (5) Å] is too long to represent an Fe-Fe bond.
