Fe-2(CO)(9) and R2P(S)P(S)R-2 (R = Et, n-Pr, n-Bu, Ph) react to form two types of cluster complexes F-e3(CO)(9)(mu(3)-S)(2) (1), Fe-2(CO)(6)(mu-SPR2)(2) (2A)-(2D), [2A, R = Et; 2B, R = n-Pr; 2C, R = n-Bu; 2D, R = Ph]. The complexes result from phosphorus-phosphorus bond scission; in the former sulfur abstraction has also occurred. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR and P-31-[H-1]-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.
