Roussin's Red Salt Revisited: Synthesis and Characterization of Metal Nitrosyl Dimers and Clusters (Cubanes, Heterobimetallic, Metal Sulfides)

Since its preparation in 1858, "Roussin's Red Salt," M(,2)Fe(,2)((mu)-S)(,2)(NO)(,4) (M = Na('+), K('+)), has elicited little interest from the inorganic community. While our initial investigations into the chemistry of Roussin's Red Salt began as a simple query of the reactivity of this compound towards electrophiles, our findings prompted us to investigate the synthesis of metal nitrosyl dimers in general, later evolving into a study of metal nitrosyl clusters.
