title: μ(4)-Sulfido-bis-{(μ-2-furyl-methane-thiol-ato)bis-[tricarbonyl-iron](Fe-Fe)}.
abstract: The title compound, [Fe(4)(C(5)H(5)OS)(2)S(CO)(12)], was prepared by the direct reaction of Fe(3)(CO)(12) and 2-furyl-methane-thiol in tetra-hydro-furan. Desulfurization took place readily to form an Fe(4)S(3) cluster. The mol-ecule consists of two similar [(μ-2-C(4)H(3)O-CH(2)S)Fe(2)(CO)(6)] moieties joined to a spiro-type four-coordinate μ(4)-S atom such that this bridging sulfur is tetra-hedrally coordinated to the four Fe atoms. In each diiron subcluster core, the 2-furyl-methane-thiol-ate ligand bridges the two Fe atoms.
