Abstract In this paper, three diiron butane-1,2-dithiolate complexes have been prepared and characterized. Treatment of the starting complex [Fe2(CO)6{µ-SCH2CH(CH2CH3)S}] (1) with a monophosphine ligand tris(2-thienyl)phosphine, tris(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)phosphine, or 4-(dimethylamino)phenyldiphenylphosphine and Me3NO·2H2O as the decarbonylating agent gave the target products 2‒4 in 75‒91% yields. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR spectroscopy, as well as by X-ray crystallography. Moreover, the electrochemical properties of complexes 3 and 4 were investigated by cyclic voltammetry.
