Abstract n (μn ‐C)(CO)m ]x (n =5,6;m =15,16;x =0,−2) with electrophilic sulfur sources (S2Cl2, S8) results in the formation of several μ4‐S dimers of clusters, and moreover, iron‐sulfide‐(sulfocarbide) clusters. The core sulfocarbide unit {C−S}4−serves as a structural model for a proposed intermediate in the radicalS ‐adenosyl‐L ‐methionine biogenesis of the M‐cluster. Furthermore, the electrophilic sulfur strategy has been extended to provide the first ever thiolato‐iron‐carbide complex: an analogous reaction with toluylsulfenyl chloride affords the cluster [Fe5(μ5‐C)(SC7H7)(CO)13]−. The strategy described herein provides a breakthrough towards developing syntheses of biomimetic iron‐sulfur‐carbide clusters like FeMoco. -

Abstract S/N crosstalk species derived from the interconnected reactivity of H2S and NO facilitate the transport of reactive sulfur and nitrogen species in signaling, transport, and regulatory processes. We report here that simple Fe2+ions, such as those that are bioavailable in the labile iron pool (LIP), react with thionitrite (SNO−) and perthionitrite (SSNO−) to yield the dinitrosyl iron complex [Fe(NO)2(S5)]−. In the reaction of FeCl2with SNO−we were able to isolate the unstable intermediate hydrosulfido mononitrosyl iron complex [FeCl2(NO)(SH)]−, which was characterized by X‐ray crystallography. We also show that [Fe(NO)2(S5)]−is a simple synthon for nitrosylated Fe−S clusters via its reduction with PPh3to yield Roussin's Red Salt ([Fe2S2(NO)4]2−), which highlights the role of S/N crosstalk species in the assembly of fundamental Fe−S motifs.

Abstract With the goal of generating anionic analogues to MN2S2
⋅ Mn(CO)3Br we introduced metallodithiolate ligands, MN2S22−prepared from the Cys‐X‐Cys biomimetic, ema4−ligand (ema=N,N′‐ethylenebis(mercaptoacetamide); M=NiII, [VIV≡O]2+and FeIII) to Mn(CO)5Br. An unexpected, remarkably stable dimanganese product, (H2N2(CH2C=O(μ‐S))2)[Mn(CO)3]2resulted from loss of M originally residing in the N2S24−pocket, replaced by protonation at the amido nitrogens, generating H2ema2−. Accordingly, the ema ligand has switched its coordination mode from an N2S24−cavity holding a single metal, to a binucleating H2ema2−with bridging sulfurs and carboxamide oxygens within Mn‐μ‐S‐CH2‐C‐O, 5‐membered rings. In situ metal‐templating by zinc ions gives quantitative yields of the Mn2product. By computational studies we compared the conformations of “linear” ema4−to ema4−frozen in the “tight‐loop” around single metals, and to the “looser” fold possible for H2ema2−that is the optimal arrangement for binucleation. XRD molecular structures show extensive H‐bonding at the amido‐nitrogen protons in the solid state. -
