The X-ray crystal structure of FeCp{sup *}({eta}{sup 1}-dtc)(CO){sub 2} (1, Cp{sup *} = {eta}{sup 5}-C{sub 5}Me{sub 5}, dtc = S{sub 2}CNMe{sub 2}) confirms that the dithiocarbamate ligand is bound to iron in a monodentate mode. The photochemical chelation of 1 is carried out in dichloromethane using visible light and quantitatively gives the chelate FeCp{sup *}({eta}{sup 2}-dtc)(CO) (2) and CO. This reaction is the best route to 2 and compares with the electron-transfer chain (ETC) processes 1 {yields} 2 catalyzed by either oxidizing or reducing agents. The photolytic reaction, which can be carried out by monochromatic (330 nm) irradiation and monitored by visible spectroscopy, gives to isosbestic points at 394 and 432 nm. Both complexes 1 and 3 crystallize in a triclinic system. 1: a = 8.582 (2) {angstrom}, b = 9.046 (4) {angstrom}, c = 12.377 (7) {angstrom}, {alpha} = 97.05 (4){degree}, {beta} = 96.84 (3){degree}, {gamma} = 111.99 (3){degree}, space group P{bar 1}, Z = 2. 3: a = 11.142 (4) {angstrom}, b = 14.958 (4) {angstrom}, c = 10.382 (4) {angstrom}, {alpha} = 98.22 (2){degree}, {beta} = 115.22 (3){degree}, {gamma} 102.62 (3){degree}, space group P{bar 1}, Z = 2.
