Abstract:
The structure of 4,5-diferrocenyl-1,2-di-thiole-3-thione, [Fe2(C5H5)2(C13H8S3)] or C23H18Fe2S3, at 130 K has monoclinic (P21/c) symmetry. The molecule has two ferrocenyl units attached to a 1,2-di-thiole-3-thione moiety. It is of inter-est with respect to the question if the introduction of ferrocenyl substituents into biologically active mol-ecules offers the potential to obtain more efficacious therapeutic drugs. The crystal structure displays inter-molecular contacts of the C-H⋯S and S-π(C-C) types.
