Abstract

Protonation of FeH 2 (DMPE) 2 [DMPE=1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino) ethane] by arene- or alkanethiols affords the molecular hydrogen complex [Fe(H 2 )H(DMPE) 2 ] + , in which the weakly bound η 2 -coordinated H 2 is readily displaced by alkane- and arenethiolates to give FeH(RS)(DMPE) 2 and Fe(RS) 2 (DMPE) 2 . Both the thiolate iron hydrides and the iron dithiolates exist as equilibrating mixtures of cis and trans stereoisomers in solution, and both readily exchange thiol ligands with added thiols. Crystals are orthorhombic, of space group Pcan
