## Abstract Modulation of the Fe redox levels within the diiron dithiolato carbonyls with the coordination of a redox‐active phosphane is reported. Treatment of [Fe~2~{μ‐S(CH~2~)~2~NR(CH~2~)~2~S}(CO)~6~]~2~ and [Fe~2~(μ‐pdt)(CO)~6~] with mppf affords the phosphane substituted species, [Fe~2~{μ‐S(CH
