A triclinic polymorph of
Abstract:
Next to the monoclinic polymorph [Cheng et al. (2005 ▶). Acta Cryst. E61, m892-m894], the triclinic title compound, [Fe(4)(C(2)H(5)S)(2)(S(2))(CO)(12)], is the second known form of this composition. The structure is composed of an [Fe(2)(C(2)H(5)S)(S)(CO)(6)] subcluster, which is linked to its counterpart by an inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central disulfide bond. The Fe(2)S(2) core of each subcluster exhibits a butterfly-like shape, with two S atoms bridging two Fe atoms. In the subcluster, each Fe atom is coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral coordination by three terminal carbonyl C atoms, two S atoms and one Fe atom. The crystal packing is accomplished through van der Waals inter-actions.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
