The complexes have been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by IR, UV-Vis, ^1H NMR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. They contain a butterfly Fe2S2 core with the Fe1–Fe2 distances of 2.5237(7)A in 1 and 2.5125(12)A in 2, falling in the normal range of Fe–Fe bond length(2.49 - 2.57 A). The cyclic voltammetry has been used to investigate the electrochemical properties and the electrocatalytic proton reduction for 1 and 2. The complexes display reduction peaks at –1.074 V, –1.535 V(1) and –0.869 V, –1.247 V(2) vs. Fc/Fc^+, respectively. With using p-Ts OH acid of different concentration, the reduction peak of complex 2 grows non-linear; on the contrary, that of complex 1 is linear with the addition of the acid. Cyclic voltammetry revealed the two complexes are good catalysts in the CH3CN/NBu4PF6 solution.展开更多
