A coordinatively unsaturated dinuclear iron(II) complex of bulky thiolates, [(TipS)Fe(μ-SDmp)]2(1; Tip = 2,4,6-iPr3C6H2, Dmp = 2,6-(mesityl)2C6H3), was synthesized from stepwise reactions of Fe{N(SiMe3)2}2with 1 equiv of HSDmp and then with 1 equiv of HSTip. Complex1was found to react with elemental sulfur (S8) in toluene to generate a new class of [8Fe-7S] cluster, [(DmpS)Fe4S3]2(μ-SDmp)2(μ-STip)(μ6-S) (2). The cluster2was also produced from one-pot reactions of Fe{N(SiMe3)2}2+ HSDmp + HSTip + S8(8:6:10:7/8) and Fe3{N(SiMe3)2}2(μ-STip)4+ HSDmp + S8(8/3:16/3:7/8), where another [8Fe-7S] cluster, [(TipS)Fe4S3]2(μ-SDmp)2{μ-N(SiMe3)2}(μ6-S) (3), was also found as a minor byproduct. In either of the clusters, two Fe4S3incomplete cubane units are connected by three anionic ligands, namely three thiolate S atoms for2or two thiolate S atoms and one amide N atom for3, and one hexa-coordinate S atom resides at the center of the [8Fe-7S] core. They have a common Fe(II)5Fe(III)3oxidation states, and anS=1/2ground spin state was indicated by rhombic EPR signals at 10 K withg= 2.19, 2.07, and 1.96 for2andg= 2.13, 2.06, and 1.93 for3. The structural relevance of clusters2and3to P-cluster, FeMo-co, and FeFe-co of nitrogenases is discussed.
