Abstract
The crystal and molecular structure of bis(tetramethylammonium)di(π-(1)-2-thiollyl)iron(II), C8H44B20FeN2S2, has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data collected by counter techniques. The material crystallizes in the orthorhombic system: space groupIbam, z=4, a=15·585(5), b=12·324(4), and c=14·806(6) Å. The B10H10S2− moiety is an icosahedron with the sulphur atom and four boron atoms forming that part of the cage which is within bonding distance of the iron. The sulphur atom and one boron atom are disordered. The structure was solved by standard techniques and the least squares refinement, using 969 independent reflexions for whichF 0 2 ⩾ 3σ(F 0 2), converged to a conventionalR factor (onF) of 4·2%.
