摘要: The synthesis and molecular structure of a novel iron(II) complex an acyclic non-NHC bis(2-pyridylthio)carbene ligand containing S−N−C facial triad are discussed. iron carbene is formed in situ during the reaction tris(2-pyridylthio)methane with salt. In six-coordinate complex, strong Fe−C interaction (1.776 A) observed crystallographically exhibits singlet-spin ground state. Density functional theory calculations that reproduce geometry as well spin state indicate electronic best described carbene. center stabilized by extensive back-bonding from delocalization into adjacent thiopyridine units.
