The iron dithiolene compounds [Fe-2(mnt)(4)](2-) [1](2-) and [Fe(NO)(mnt)(2)](n) (n = 1-, [2](1-); n = 2-. [2](2-)) ([mnt](2-) = maleonitriledithiolate = [(NC)(2)C2S2](2-)) have been characterized structurally by X-ray diffraction as their [Et4N](+) salts at 100 K. Dianion [2](2-) is prepared from [2](1-) by reduction with Na[Et3BH] and is observed to have a bent Fe-N=O angle at 149.9(5)degrees in contrast to the linear configuration of Fe-N=O in [2](1-) (180.0 degrees). The change from linear to bent binding mode for NO, an increase of more than 01 angstrom in the Fe-N bond length, and the relative invariance of the Fe-S distances for [2](2-) versus [2](1-) indicate that the NO ligand is the site of reduction. The [Et3NH](+) complex of [2](1-) was also identified by crystallography and found to have hydrogen bonding contacts between [Et3NH](+) and the cyano nitrogen atom of an [mnt](2-) ligand. Furthermore, relatively close S...S contacts (3.602-3.615 angstrom) occur between [2](1-) anions, which pack together in an offset, head-to-head fashion. These S...S contacts are absent in the structure of [Et4N][2]. Infrared spectra show an energy decrease for, and a significant broadening of, the N=O bond stretching absorption peak in [2](2-), which is consistent with a bent NO ligand sampling a range of conformations both by facile pivoting about the Fe-N axis and by a breathing of the Fe-N=O angle.
