In order to obtain suitable precursors for iron complexes that model the reactivity of the active sites of nitrogenases, the coordination chemistry of the [Fe('N2H2S2')] fragment was systematically investigated ('N2H2S2'2- = 1,2-ethanediamine-N,N′-bis(2-benzenethiolate)(2-)). One-pot reactions of FeCl2·4H2O with the tetradentate amine-thiolate ligand 'N2H2S2'2- and CO, PR3, or P(OR)3 yielded the complexes [Fe(CO)2('N2H2S2')] (1), [Fe(CO)(PR3)('N2H2S2')] (R = Et (2), Pr (3), Bu (4)), [Fe(PMe3)2('N2H2S2')] (7), [Fe(dppe)('N2H2S2')] (8, dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphine)ethane), and [Fe(P(OR)3)2('N2H2S2')] (R = Me (9), Pr (10)). Mixed phosphane/phosphite complexes [Fe(PMe3)(P(OR)3)('N2H2S 2')] (R = Me (11), Pr (12)) were synthesized by PMe3/P(OPr)3 exchange of the labile complexes [Fe(PMe3)2('N2H2S2')] (7) and [Fe(P(OPr)3)2('N2H2S2')] (10). The [Fe(CO)(PR3)('N2H2S2')] complexes 3 and 4 also resulted from 1 and PR3 by photochemical CO substitution. They exhibit charactsristic low-frequency ν(CO) bands (≈ 1925 cm-1), and their remaining CO ligand proved photolytically inert. Reaction of 3 or 4 with NOBF4 yielded the dinuclear NO complex [Fe(NO)('N2HS2')]2 (6) which contains two amide functions. Contrary to expectations, [Fe(PR3)2('N2H2S2')] complexes could not be obtained with monodentate phosphanes other than PMe3. The corresponding N-methylated ligand 'N2Me2S2'2- yielded only the complexes [Fe(CO)2('N2Me2S2')] (15) and [Fe('N2Me2S2')] (16). X-ray structure analyses of complexes 7, 8·MeOH, 3, [Fe(CO)(dppm)('N2H2S2')]·0,5THF (5·0,5THF, dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane), and 12·0,5'N2H2S2'-H2 confirm the pseudo-octahedral coordination of the Fe centers by two trans-S and two cis-N donors and two cis-coligands. The structural data further suggest that the unexpected instability of the [Fe(PR3)2('N2H2S2')] complexes is not caused by steric but by electronic effects. The cyclic voltammograms and the reactivity of the [Fe(L)(L')('N2H2S2')] complexes corroborate this assumption. The oxidation behaviour of the [Fe(L)(L')('N2H2S2')] complexes depends critically on the coligands L and L'. Reaction of 1 with dioxygen leads to oxidative dehydrogenation of the 'N2H2S2'2- ligand and yields the dinuclear Schiff-Base complex [Fe('gma')]2 ('gma'2- = glyoxal-bis(2-mercaptoanil)(2-)). In contrast, oxidation of [Fe(CO)(PR3)('N2H2S2')], [Fe(PR3)2('N2H2S2')] and [Fe(P(OR)3)2('N2H2S2')] complexes by dioxygen occurs metal-centered and gives the Fe(IV) complexes [Fe(PR3)('N2S2')] (R = Me, Pr), [Fe(P(OR)3)('N2S2')] (R = Me) and [Fe('N2S2')]2 that contain the tetraanionic thiolate-amide ligand 'N2S2'4-.
