Dibenzothienyl Schiff bases, DBT-NN and DBT-NP, were derived from condensation of 4-formyldibenzothiophene with N,N-dimethylethylenediamine and 2-(diphenylphosphino)ethylamine, respectively. A photochemical reaction of [Fe(CO)5] with DBT-NN produced diiron complexes, [Fe2(μ-DBT-NN)(CO)6] (1) and [{F...
