The mol-ecular framework of the title compound, C(11)H(7)IOS(8), is almost planar [maximum deviation = 0.040 (4) Å], except for the two methyl-sulfanyl groups, which are twisted relative to the mol-ecular skeleton, making C-S-C-C torsion angles of 144.1 (8) and -141.3 (8)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are stacked alternately in opposite orientations, forming a one-dimensional column parallel to ...

In the title compound, C(13)H(22)N(4)O(2)S(2), the six-membered ring displays a half-chair conformation. The olefin amine unit is close to being coplanar with the imidazolidine ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.059 Å). The dithiol-ane ring adopts a twisted conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions.

Mammalian thioredoxin reductases (TrxR) are homodimers, homologous to glutathione reductase (GR), with an essential selenocysteine (SeCys) residue in an extension containing the conserved C-terminal sequence -Gly-Cys-SeCys-Gly. In the oxidized enzyme, we demonstrated two nonflavin redox centers by chemical modification and peptide sequencing: one was a disulfide within the sequence -Cys(59)-Val...

The title compound, [Fe(2)(C(14)H(10)NS(2))(2)(CO)(6)], was synthesized as a structural and biochemical model for the active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenase. The bond lengths (Fe-Fe, Fe-S and Fe-C) and angles (C-Fe-Fe and Fe-S-Fe) are within expected ranges. The S⋯S distance [2.9069 (12) Å] and the dihedral angle between two Fe-S-Fe planes [78.5 (3)°] of the butterfly-shaped Fe(2)S(2) core are enlar...

The title compound, [Fe(2)(C(9)H(11)NS(2)){Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(17)H(14)P)}(CO)(5)], was prepared as an aza-dithiol-ato-iron model for the iron-only hydrogenase active site. The Fe(2)S(2) unit exhibits a butterfly conformation and the ferrocenyldiphenyl-phosphine ligand is trans to the Fe-Fe bond. The Fe-Fe distance of 2.5160 (8) Å is longer than found in related model structures. Intra-molecular C-H...

There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title imidazole derivative, C(20)H(16)ClFN(2)OS(2). In one mol-ecule, the dithiol-ane ring is disordered over two positions in a 0.849 (9):0.151 (10) ratio. The imidazole ring makes dihedral angles of 79.56 (9) and 18.45 (9)° with the 4-chloro-phenyl and 2-fluoro-phenyl rings, respectively, in one mol-ecule; in the other mol-ecule, the corr...

In the title compound, [Fe(2)(C(7)H(4)IN)(C(3)H(6)S(2))(CO)(5)], the Fe-Fe distance of 2.5156 (11) Å compares well with that in related model structures. The phenyl isocyanide ligand is in the basal position and trans to the S atoms of the propane-dithiol-ate ligand due to steric hindrance. The crystal structure features C-H⋯O inter-actions.
