Visible-light-induced release of CO by thiolate iron(<scp>iii</scp>) carbonyl complexes bearing N,C,S-pincer ligands

Abstract

Iron(iii) carbonyl complexes are stabilized by a pincer ligand containing pyridine-N, phenyl-C and thiolate-S donors and two axial phosphine ligands. The N,C,S-pincer iron(iii) carbonyl complexes show CO-releasing properties induced by visible light.
