Structural studies on mixed iron–gold clusters with bidentate tertiary phosphine ligands

Abstract
Structural analyses on [Fe(CO)4Au2(dppm)]2(1a)[dppm =(Ph2P)2CH2] and [Fe(CO)4Au2(dppe)]2(1b)[dppe =(Ph2P)2C2H4] have demonstrated that the bite angle of the phosphine ligands exerts a profound influence on the cluster geometry, since (1a) has a rhomboid of gold atoms with µ2-Fe(CO)4 moieties, and (1b) has well separated Au2Fe triangles.
