Abstract
The new complexes Fe2(S2CnH2n)(CO)2(dppv)2 (n = 2, 3; dppv = cis-1,2-C2H2(PPh2)2) form adducts with AlBr3 and B(C6F5)3, which adopt the "rotated structure" proposed for the active site of the Fe-only hydrogenases--the propanedithiolate is significantly more Lewis basic due to nonbonded interactions between the dithiolate strap and the ligands on Fe.
