Abstract
The Fe(II)-isothiocyanato complex $trans-[FeH(NCS)(dppe)_2]$ (1) eactedwith iodomethane(Mel) to give methyl isothiocyanide-Fe(n) complex, $trans-FeH(NCS(Me)-S)(dppe)_2]I(2)$. Compound 2 was oxidized to $trans-[Fe(NCS)_2(Ph_2P(O)CH_2CH_2P(O)Ph_2)_2][I_3]$ (3), which was structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. The molecular structure of 3 showed a bent Fe-NCS group, Crystallographic data for 3: triclinic space group P1,a=11.071(2) A,b=12.054(2)A,c=12.121(1)A, $\alpha=101.02(1){\circ}C{\beta}=95.887(9){\circ}Cr=110.34(1){\circ}C$, $Z=1R(wR_2)=0.0567(0.1294)$.
