Abstract
Photolysis of [cis-Fe(H)(2)(dmpe)(2)] [dmpe = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphin o)ethane] in the presence of simple thiophenes gives products formed b y insertion of the iron centre into both C-H and C-S bonds; the crysta l structure of [Fe(SCMeCHCHCH)(dmpe)(2)] is a planar 'ferrathiacycle' but bond lengths and H-1 NMR spectroscopy indicate that this ring is b est described as a localised diene structure rather than a 'ferrathiab enzene' with delocalised pi-system.
