The reaction of methyl substituted N.-(2-thienylmethylede)benzylamine (1) with Fe2(CO)9 in benzene gives endo cyclometalated (μ-η1:η2-thienyl; η1:η1(N))hexacarbonyldiiron complexes (2 and 5), exo cyclometalated (μ-η1:η2-phenyl; η1:η1(N))hexacarbonyldiiron complexes (3 and 6) and/or imidoyl triironnonacarbonyl cluster (4), in accordance with the position of methyl substituent(s). In complex 3, the thienyl unit of the original Schiff base has been replaced by a phenyl group, which comes from the same Schiff base. The X-ray structure analyses were carried out on complexes 2a, 2b, 2c and 3a.
