N2 - The complex [Fe2(SMe)2(CO)6] undergoes stepwise exchange with Et2S2 to yield successively [Fe2(SMe)(SEt)(CO)6] and [Fe2(SEt)2(CO)6]. Carbonyl complexes [Fe2(SR)2(CO)6] are efficiently converted to the nitrosyls [Fe2(SR)2(NO)4] by the action either of NO gas or of methanolic sodium nitrite: the analogous species [Fe2S2(CO)6], [Fe2S2(CO)6]2-, and [Fe3S2(CO)9] all, with methanolic nitrite, yield [Fe4S3(NO)7]-. This anion, [Fe4S3(NO)7]-, reacts with sulphur to give the cubane-like [Fe4S4(NO)4]: the synthesis of its selenium analogue, [Fe4Se3(NO)7]- is described. The complexes [Fe2(SR)2(NO)4] (R = Me, Et, Prn, Pri, But, PhCH2) all consist of two isomers in solution, presumed to have structures of C2h and C2v, symmetry: activation parameters for the C2h⇌C2v reaction are reported.
