Abstract

In attempt to synthesize suitable [FeFe] hydrogenase model complexes, 2-methoxypropane-1,3-dithiole and 4-methyl-4-hydroxy-1,2-dithiolane were reacted with Fe-3(CO)(12) to give the respective complexes [Fe-2(CO)(6)(H3COCH(CH2S)(2))] and [Fe-2(CO)(6)(HOC(CH3)(CH2S)(2))]. The compounds were characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. In addition, their electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and compared with that of [Fe-2(CO)(6)(HOC(CH2S)(2))] known from literature.
