The chelation of the monodentate dithiocarbamate complexes (Fe({eta}{sup 5}-C{sub 5}R{sub 5})({eta}{sup 1}-dtc)(CO){sub 2}) (dtc = SC(S)NMe{sub 2}; R = H (1a), Me (1b)) to (Fe({eta}{sup 5}-C{sub 5}R{sub 5})({eta}{sup 2}-dtc)(CO)) (R = H (2a), Me (2b)) is catalyzed by (FeCp{sub 2}){sup +}X{sup {minus}} (X{sup {minus}} = PF{sub 6}{sup {minus}} (3a), BF{sup {minus}}{sub 4} (3b), SbCl{sup {minus}}{sub 6} (3c)) in THF. The mechanism involves the oxidation 1 + 3 {yields} 2{sup +}X{sup {minus}} + FeCp{sub 2} and the cross electron transfer (ET) 2{sup +}X{sup {minus}} + 1 {yields} 2+1{sup +}X{sup {minus}}. It shows that the deactivating step of 2b{sup +}X{sup {minus}} proceeds with a rate constant of ca. 10{sup {minus}1} s{sup {minus}1}. CV's, in the presence of PPh{sub 3}, show the existence of (FeCp{sup *}({eta}-dtc)(PPh{sub 3})){sup +/0} (4b{sup +}X{sup {minus}}/4b), and electrolysis of 1b in the presence of electrolyte gives a THF-soluble one-electron-oxidation complex, presumably (FeCp{sup *}({eta}{sup 2}-dtc)(PPh{sub 3})){sup +/0} (4b{sup +}X{sup {minus}}/4b), and electrolysis of 1b in the presence of electrolyte gives a THF-soluble one-electron-oxidation complex, presumably (FeCp{sup *}({eta}{sup 2}-dtc)(THF)){sup +}X{sup {minus}} (5b{sup +}X{sup {minus}}).
