Abstract

The crystal of complex [Li(THF)4][Fe(S2C 2B10H10)2(THF)] 3 belongs to monoclinic, space group P21 with a = 11.964(2), b = 16.527(3), c = 12.554(3) Å, β = 108.70(3)°, V = 2351.3(8) Å3, Z = 2, Mr = 835.95, Dc = 1.181 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 5.30 cm-1, F(000) = 874, R = 0.0622 and Rw = 0.1538 for 1641 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The ionic complex of 3 contains the square pyramidal anion of [Fe(S2C2B 10H10)2(THF)]- and the tetrahedral cation of [Li(THF)4]+. The iron is 5-coordinated and located in the square pyramidal configuration. The iron atom and the four sulfur atoms are almost coplanar. The Lithium atom is coordinated with four oxygen atoms of four THF molecules and located in a tetrahedral configuration.
