In a search of transition metal complexes with sulfur dominated coordination spheres and free coordination sites for the binding of small molecules, [Ru(L)('buS5')] complexes with the sterically demanding pentadentate thioether-thiolate ligand 'buS5'2- ( 'buS5'2- = 2,2'-Bis(2-mercapto-3,5-di-t-butylphenylthio)diethylsulfide(2-)) have been synthesized. Reaction of [RuCl3(NO)(PPh3)2] with 3,5-di(t-butyl)benzene-1,2-dithiolate, ′buS2'2-, yields the 16 electron complex [Ru(NO )('buS2')2]- which is isolated as the NBu4+-salt, 1. According to the NMR spectra, 1 contains a two-fold axis or a mirror plane. Alkylation of 1 with bis(β-bromethyl)sulfide under reflux leads stereoselectively to meso-[Ru(NO)('buS5')]Br, [2]Br. Reaction of [2]Br with LiBEt3H yields the barely soluble binuclear complex [Ru('buS5')]2, 3, with [Ru('buS5')Ru(NO)('buS2')('buS2'- C2H4SH)], 4, as a by-product. 4 ·THF, 4a, has been characterized by X-ray structure analysis. Reactions of 3 with σ-π- and σ-ligands yield mononuclear meso-[Ru(L)('buS5')] complexes which have been isolated and characterized with L = CO, PMe3, PPh3, PCy3, pyr, CN-, 5 - 10, NH2NHPh, NH2NHMe, NH2NMe2, NH2Ph und NHEt2, 13-17. Complexes 5 -10 are stable compounds. Complexes 13-17, however, are sensitive towards oxidation and/or substitution. Coordination of L = N2H4 and NH3 to 3 leads to insoluble [Ru(L)('buS5')]x complexes.

Abstract In order to obtain soluble complexes containing sterically protected metal centers the new bi- and tetradentate thiolate amine ligands 2-mercapto-3,5-di-tbutylaniline (= tbu2-ma-H) and 1,2-bis(2-mercapto-3,5-di-tbutylanilino)ethane (= tbu4-mae-H2) were synthesized. tbu2-ma-H reacts with FeCl2-4 H2O and CO to give [Fe(CO)2(tbu2-ma)2], with Zn(ac)2 -2 H2O [Zn(tbu2-ma)2] is obtained whose acid hydrolysis and reaction with H2S, respectively, yield pure tbu2-Ina-H. The condensation of tbu2-ma-H with glyoxal yields the respective bis-benzthiazolidine, which is re­duced by LiAlH4 in the presence of Na[N(SiMe3)2] to tbu4-bmae-H2. tbu4-bmae-Li2. reacts with [Ru(CO)3(THF)Cl2], [Ru(PMe3)4Cl2] and [Ru(PPh3)2(CH3CN)2Cl2], respectively, to yield [Ru(L)2(Tm4-bmae)j (L = CO, PMe3, PPh3). The complexes are more soluble in organic solvents than the corresponding unsubstituted bmae complexes, bmae2- = 1,2-bis(2-mercaptoanilino)- ethane(2-).

MoClReacting [Mo(O)2(acac)2] (acac- = acetylacetonate) with the tetradentate thioether-thiol ligand 2,3,8.9-dibenzo-1,4,7,10-tetrathiadecane (dttd-H2) yields cis-[Mo(O)2(dttd)] ; this compound is reduced by PPh3 to give [MoO(dttd)], which is also obtained from [MoCl2(dttd)] and H2O. Depending upon the concentrations of the reactants [4(THF)2], CH3SC6H4SH and H2O , in THF the products [MoO(CH3SC6H4S)2] or [MoCl2(CH3SC6H4S)2] are formed. In the analogous reaction between [MoCl4(THF)2] and the pentadentate ligand 2,3,11,12-dibenzo- 1,4,7,10,13-pentathiatridecane (dpttd-H2) in THF/H2O. [MoO(dpttd)] is obtained exclusively. Due to their poor solubility, the Mo(IV)-oxo complexes show only limited reactivity only; with NO reductive nitrosylation to cis-Mo(NO)2 complexes is observed.

The pentadentate thioether thiolate ligand ′buS5′2 (= dianion of 2,2′-bis(2-mercapto-3,5-di-tertiary-butylphenylthio)diethylsulfide) reacts with iron(II) ions to give the diamagnetic [Fe′buS5′] (1), which only coordinates σ-π ligands such as CO, NO, NO+ or P(OPh)3. In this respect, the [Fe′buS5′] fragment differs from the parent complex [Fe′S5′] (′S5′2- = dianion of 2,2′-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)diethylsulfide) as well as from the related [Fe′NHS4′] (′NHS4′2- = dianion of 2,2′-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)diethylamine), both of which are able to coordinate also σ-ligands such as N,H4 or NH3. Synthesis of [Fe(CO)′buS5′] (2), yields two stereoisomers that can be easily separated owing to their different solubility.
