Dedicated to Prof. Jozef Drabowicz on the occasion of his 75th birthday.In continuation of the study focused on synthesis and structure of mimics of the active site of the [FeFe] hydrogenase enzyme, reaction of Fe 3 (CO) 12 with cyclopropyl ferrocenyl thioketone 1 was carried out. Two different complexes with ring-opened cyclopropyl fragments were isolated and identified as η 4 -1-thia-1,3-diene-type mononuclear tricarbonyl iron complex 2 and η 2acyl-type hexacarbonyl diiron complex 3, respectively. Struc-tures of crystalline products were unambiguously confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. For the ring opening reaction of the cyclopropane moiety, leading to the formation of 2 and 3, a multistep radical mechanism was postulated. Electrochemical investigations of 3, being reminiscent of a [FeFe] hydrogenase mimic, were carried out at different scan rates.
