Abstract:The kinetics of the reactions between [FeCl4]- and an excess of PhS- have been studied using stopped-flow spectophotometry. The associated absorbance-time curves can be fitted to two exponentials, and these first and second phases correspond to the formation of [FeCl3(SPh)]- and [FeCl2(SPh)2]-, respectively. It seems likely that the steps involving formation of [FeCl(SPh)3]- and [Fe(SPh)4]- are associated with much smaller changes in absorbance and so are not detected. The kinetics of the first phase exhibit a… Show more
“…The studies reported in this paper, together with the studies on: (i) the substitution of ½FeCl 4 À by PhS ) to produce ½Fe(SPh) 4 À (prior to reduction and aggregation to form ½Fe 4 (SPh) 10 2À ) [5], and (ii) reaction [6] of ½Fe 4 ðSPhÞ 10 2À with ½MoS 4 2À to produce ½S 2 Moðl-SÞ 2 Fe(SPh) 2 2À , allow us to sketch out the pathway by which cuboidal clusters containing the fMoFe 3 S 4 g 3þ core framework are constructed. The pathway, which is presumably also followed by other clusters containing fMFe 3 S 4 g nþ cores, is shown in Figure 8.…”

“…We have already published kinetic and mechanistic studies on systems related to the initial stages in the formation of these cuboidal clusters; namely the substitution reactions of [FeCl 4 À with PhS ) or PhSH [5], and the reaction of ½Fe 4 ðSPhÞ 10 2À with ½MS 4 2À (M=Mo, W or V) [6] to form [S 2 Mðl-SÞ 2 Fe(SPh) 2 2À . In this paper we present the kinetics of the subsequent reactions of ½S 2 Moðl-SÞ 2 Fe(SPh) 2 2À with ½Fe(SPh) 4 2À to form the dicuboidal ½fMoFe 3 S 4 ðSPhÞ 3 g 2 ðl-SPhÞ 3 3À and the reaction of ½ðEtSÞ 2 Feðl-SÞ 2 Vðl-SÞ 2 Fe(SEt) 2 3À with ½Fe(SEt) 4 2À to form the dicuboidal ½fVFe 3 S 4 ðSEtÞ 3 g 2 ðl-SEtÞ 3 3À .…”

“…Reaction of PhS À with [FeCl 4 ] À in MeCN, occurs in at least two steps, the first an associative process involving [FeCl 3 SPh] À formation, significant amounts of which may be present at high concentrations of PhS À , followed by rate-determining loss of Cl À . 115 Reactions with PhSH involve initial formation of a solvento complex, [FeCl 3 (CH 3 CN)] followed by rapid substitution by PhSH.…”
