Cyclopentadienyl iron dicarbonyl styrene chalcogenosulfonates: synthesis and structure of CpFe(CO)2SeSO2CH=CHPh

“…Iron complexes incorporating sulfur or selenium ligands stimulate increasing interest due to their importance in biological systems, [1][2][3][4] their relevance to catalytic processes [5][6][7][8][9] and in the development of material science. [10][11][12][13] Iron-sulfur proteins are required for many biological processes.…”

“…They are involved in numerous cellular processes like respiration, photosynthesis, metabolic reactions, nitrogen fixation, DNA replication and repair, regulation of gene expression or t-RNA modifications. [1][2][3][4] The influence of the incorporation of sulfur or selenium atoms into the structure of [FeFe]-hydrogenase models, has been investigated on their activity for hydrogen production. [5][6][7][8][9] Iron sulfide nanomaterials have been used as electrocatalysts for water-splitting leading to hydrogen evolution.…”
