title: Synthesis of carboxylate-bridged iron-thiolate clusters from alcohols/aldehydes or carboxylate salts.
abstract: A series of novel carboxylate-bridged cyclopentadienyl diiron complexes [Cp*Fe(μ-SEt)2(μ-η(2)-OOCR)FeCp*][PF6] (, R = H; , R = Me; , R = Et; , R = Pr-n; , R = Ph; , R = p-Me-C6H4; , R = PhCH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH; , CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]C) were obtained from alcohols/aldehydes or sodium carboxylates at room temperature. These eight complexes were fully characterized by spectroscopy, and some of them (, , and ) were further studied by X-ray crystallography. In addition, the electrochemical properties of clusters and are also discussed.
