Photochemical reactions of [Fe(CO)(5)] with dibenzothiophene (DBT) derivatives bearing a N-donor group produced a series of C,S-bridged diiron carbonyl complexes [{Fe(mu-L'-kappa N-3,C,S)(CO)(2)}Fe(CO)(3)], as previously, reported for 4-(2'-pyridyl)dibenzothiophene (L-1'-L-5', where L' represents the N,C,S-tridentate ligands L-1'-L-5', formed by C-S bond cleavage of L-1-L-5, respectively. The DBT derivatives used in this study have Schiff base or oxazoline moieties at the 4-position: L-2 = PhCH2N=CH-DBT, L-3 = 2-MeOC6H4CH2N=CH-DBT, L-4 = (S)-PhC(Me)HN=CH-DBT, L-5 = (R)-4-isopropyl-2-oxazolinyl-DBT. The diiron complexes were characterized by NMR, absorption, and circular dichroism spectroscopy, and the dinuclear structures bridged by thiolate S and aryl C atoms were established by X-ray crystallography. The diiron complex [{Fe(mu-L'-kappa N-3,C,S)(CO)(2)}Fe(CO)(3)] consists of two units, Fe(L')(CO)(2) and Fe(CO)(3): the latter unit is located on a thiolate-containing metallacycle in the former one The chiral Schiff base ligand precursor L-4 gave a 55:45 mixture of two diastereomers for [{Fe(mu-L-4'-kappa N-3,C,S)(CO)(2)}Fe(CO)(3)], while chiral L-5 with an (R)-4-isopropyL-2-oxazolinyl group afforded [(Fe(mu-L-5'-kappa N-3,C,S)(CO)(2)}Fe(CO)(3)] in a 9:1 diastereomeric ratio. The diiron carbonyl complexes of the N,C,S-tridentate ligands (L-1'-L-5') showed two reversible redox couples for [Fe-2(mu-L')(CO)(5)](0/-) and [Fe-2(mu-L'(CO)(5)](-/2-). The two-electron-reduced forms undergo protonation and act as electrocatalysts for proton reduction of acetic acid in acetonitrile.
