Small, coordinatively unsaturated iron-sulfur clusters are conceived as building blocks for the diverse set of shapes of iron-sulfur clusters in biological and synthetic chemistry. Here we describe a synthetic method for preparing [2Fe-1S] clusters containing two iron(II) ions, which are supported by a relatively unhindered beta-diketiminate supporting ligand. The [2Fe-1S] cluster can be isolated in the presence of trimethylphosphine, and the compound with one PMe3 on each iron(II) ion has been crystallographically characterized. The PMe3 ligands may be removed with B(C6F5)(3) to give a spectroscopically characterized species with solvent ligands. This species is a versatile synthon for [2Fe-2S], [4Fe-3S], and [10Fe-8S] clusters. Crystallographic characterization of the 10Fe cluster shows that it has all iron(II) ions, and the core has two [4Fe-4S] cubes that share a face in a novel arrangement. This cluster also has two iron sites that are coordinated to solvent donors, suggesting the potential for using this type of cluster for reactivity in the future.
