Reactions of Ti(III) and Ti(IV) thiolates with Rh complexes have been investigated. In the reaction of Cp2Ti(SMe)2 and [(COD)2Rh]BF4 or [(COD)Rh(sol)2]PF6, thiolate abstraction yields ((COD)Rh(μ-SMe))2, 1. Reaction of (Cp2Ti(μ-SMe))2 with ((COD)Rh(μ-Cl))2 results in ligand exchange affording (Cp2Ti(μ-Cl))2 and 1. The complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, with a = 8.551(2) Å, b = 10.058(3) Å, c = 22.187(4) Å, β = 92.54(1)°, Z = 4, and V = 1906(1) Å3. The structural data show a relatively short approach between the Rh centres (2.948 Å) and between the bridging sulfur atoms (2.888 Å). The implications of these structural features in terms of metal–metal and sulphur–sulfur bonding are discussed. In addition, the implications of these results with respect to the formation of thiolato-bridged, early–late heterobimetallics is considered. Keywords: thiolate abstraction, rhodium thiolate bridged dimer.

1,2,4,5-Tetraphenyl-3,6-dicarbornethoxytricyclo[3.1.0.02,4]hexane crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 10.044(4), b = 9.500(2), c = 14.172(4) Å, β = 104.38(2)°, and Z = 2. Using 1032 unique reflections with I > 3σ(I), the structural data were refined by full matrix least-squares techniques to R = 0.038. The molecule was found to be in the anti-configuration. All bond lengths within the highly strained central tricyclic framework were equal within experimental error and average 1.531 Å.

Spectrophotometric studies on the reaction between diiodine and the title ligand in ratios ranging from 1:1 to 1:20 in CHCl3 have shown the formation of a 1:1 charge-transfer complex. A general computer program has been used to refine the equilibrium constant and the extinction coefficients simultaneously. In the solid state a 1:2 (donor to acceptor) complex has been isolated and an X-ray structure analysis of the compound indicated that the crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 16.317(4), b = 13.912(3), c = 12.879(3) Å, β = 111.24(2)°, Z = 4.The molecular structure shows that two sulphur-thioamide atoms of the ligand act as donor with respect to two diiodine molecules. The structural data of the organic molecule of the complex and those of the free molecule are very similar. Keywords: diiodine, thioamides, charge-transfer, structure, equilibrium-constants.

The crystal and molecular structure of bis(ethy 3-mercaptobut-2- enoato)zinc(II) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Solved by conventional Patterson and Fourier methods the structure was refined by a least-squares method employing anisotropic thermal parameters to all non-hydrogen atoms to R and Rw values of 0.040 and 0.046 respectively. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with four molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a 11.107(1), b 18.239(2) and c 8.438(1) Ǻ and β 107.7(1)�. The intensities of 2274 independent and statistically significant [I ≥ 3σ(I)] reflections with θ values ≤ 70� were measured by counter methods using nickel- filtered Cu Kα radiation. The crystals comprise discrete monomeric molecules with the zinc atom bonded to two sulphur atoms and two oxygen atoms giving a coordination arrangement which is substantially distorted from an ideal tetrahedron. The mean values for the Zn-S and Zn-O bond distances are 2.247(1) and 2.007(3) Ǻ respectively and the average S-Zn-O intraligand bond angle is 99.25(8)�. The geometries of the ligands differ in two ways. Firstly, the two ethyl groups adopt differing conformations and secondly, while one ligand moiety is essentially planar with the zinc atom displaced about 0.1 Ǻ from that plane, the displaced atom in the other ligand is the carbon bonded to the sulphur atom and not the metal which is, in this instance, coplanar with the other members of the ring. Bond distances in each chelate ring indicate aromatic character with a lone pair of electrons on the ethoxy-oxygen participating in the delocalization.

The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound (C8H16N2NiS4) was solved by the heavy atom method and the structure was refined anisotropically to a final R factor of R = 0.029 (wR = 0.037) for 715 observed reflections. The crystal is monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 948.3(2), b = 776.9(2), c = 1 167.4(2) pm, β = 125.14(2)°, Z = 2. The molecule contains two four-membered NiSCS rings of approximately planar configuration with the Ni atom situated at a centre of symmetry. The molecules are arranged in chains along the c-axis of the unit cell.

Reaction of a DMF solution of Cu(S2CNC4H8) with [Ph4P]2[WSe4] affords [Ph4P]2[WSe4- (CuS2CNC4H8)3] (1) and [Ph4P][Cu(SeS2CNC4H )(S2CN2C4H8)] (2) in which a Se atom from the decomposition of the WSe42- anion has reacted with the pyrrolidyldithiocarbamate (C4H8dtc) ligand anion to form the new ligand anion SeS2CNC4H8⊖. Complex 2 crystallizes with four formula units in the monoclinic space group P21/c in a cell of dimensions a = 10.5824(2), b = 18.7575(3), c = 18.3268(4) Å and ß = 109.0980(10)°. 6055 independent reflections above background were measured with a diffractometer and the structure was refined anisotropically to R =0.073. The anion contains a three-coordinated copper(I) atom. The C4H8dtc⊖ ligand is bonded to the Cu+ cation in a terminal fashion, while SeS2CNC4H8⊖ chelates the Cu+ cation. The Se-S bond length is 2.231 (4) Å.

Abstract The novel tri-nuclear metal-sulfur cluster [Mo3S(S2)6]2- can be obtained as its ammonium salt by the reaction of a Moiv containing aqueous solutions with polysulfide. Its crystal and molecular structure has been determined by a single crystal X-ray study. The crystals are monoclinic (space group Cm, with a = 11.577(6) Å, b = 16.448(7) Å, c = 5.716(2) Å, β = 117.30(3)°, V = 967.2 Å3 , Z = 2, dexptl. = 2.54(2) g/cm3 , dcal = 2.54 g/cm3). The structure consists of isolated [Mo3S(S2)6]2- units, with three Mo atoms at the vertices of a triangle. There are bridging as well as terminal S22--ligands lying above and below the Mo3-plane (bond distances: Mo-Mo = 2.722 Å, Mo-S(terminal) = 2.435, Mo-S(bridging) = 2.452, Mo3-S = 2.353(4) Å and S-S = 2.04 Å (mean values)).
