Low-Coordinate Homoleptic Iron(II) Thiolates Revisited

Abstract

A reinterpretation of the Mossbauer and crystallographic data, together with some new Mossbauer results, is presented for low-coordinate iron(II) thiolates. It is shown that the coordination geometry about iron is best reassigned in some cases. Further, Mossbauer isomer shift and quadrupole splitting can distinguish the coordination geometry about iron in low-coordinate iron complexes, but not in the way previously proposed.
