Description
Summary:The title compound, [Fe2(C16H14N2S3)(CO)6], was prepared as the biomimetic model for the active site of iron-only hydrogenase. The structure is similar to the diiron subsite of the iron-only hydrogenase active site, and contains a diiron-aza­dithiol­ate moiety in which a boat six-membered ring is fused with a chair six-membered ring. The substituted benzyl group attached to the bridging N atom resides in an equatorial position. The sum of the C—N—C angles around this N atom [331.9 (12)°] indicates sp 3 hybridization.
