Synthesis, structure, and properties of three- and six-membered metallacycles composed of iron, germanium, and sulfur atoms
Ultraviolet irradiation Of Cp*(CO)(2)FeGeMe2SPh in the presence of acetone afforded trans-[Cp* Fe(CO){mu-k(2)Ge, S-GeMe2SPh}](2), while the introduction of a bulkier substituent on the sulfur atom allowed selective formation of the three-membered metallacycle Cp*(CO)Fe(k(2)Ge,S-GeMe(2)SMes) (Mes = 2,4,6-C6H2Me3).
