Activation of the S-H group in Fe(mu(2)-SH)Fe clusters: S-H bond strengths and free radical reactivity of the Fe(mu(2)-SH)Fe cluster.

Absolute rate constants were determined for the abstraction of hydrogen atoms from (OC)(3)Fe(mu-SH)(2)Fe(CO)(3) (Fe(2)S(2)H(2)) and (OC)(3)Fe(mu-SCH(3))(mu-SH)Fe(CO)(3) (Fe(2)S(2)MeH) by benzyl radicals in benzene. From the temperature-dependent rate data for Fe(2)S(2)H(2), DeltaH(++) and DeltaS(++)...
