Coordinative interaction of [Ag(PPh3)2NO3] or [Pd(MeCN)2Cl2] with in situ-prepared Na[FcP-
(OR)S2] afforded 1 : 1 products [FcP(OR)S2Ag(PPh3)2] (R = Me 1, n-Pr 2) or the 1 : 2 product
[{FcP(OMe)S2}2Pd] (3). Complexes 1 – 3 were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrom-
etry, NMR (1H, 31P) and IR spectroscopy, as well as by X-ray crystallography. The distorted tetra-
hedral silver(I) coordination led to non-planar and distorted four-membered AgS2P rings in 1 and 2,
whereas the square-planar palladium(II) coordination resulted in four-membered co-planar PdS2P
rings in 3.

Introduction
methoxide or sodium n-proproxide. The molecular
structures of [FcP(OMe)S2Ag(PPh3)2] (1), [FcP(On-
Pr)S2Ag(PPh3)2] (2), and [FcP(OMe)S2]2Pd (3) are
also presented in this paper.
Organophosphorus-containing dithiolato-type com-
pounds are of interest due to their agricultural
and industrial applications [1, 2]. From the point of
view of coordination chemistry, dithiophosphonates
are bidentate ligands which can form stable com-
plexes with transition metal ions. Since Woollins
reported the dithiodiphosphetane disulfide [FcP(S)-
(µ-S)]2 [Fc = Fe(η5-C5H4)(η5-C5H5)] as an ana-
log of Lawesson’s reagent (LR) [AnP(S)(µ-S)]2
(An = 4-anisyl), the study of phosphonodithiolate
derivatives in the field of ferrocene chemistry has
been actively extended [3 – 5]. For example, a se-
ries of new ferrocenyl-phosphonothiolate derivatives
were successfully isolated from the reactions of
[FcP(S)(µ-S)]2 with alcohols or sodium alkoxides,
silanols, dienes, alkenes, cyanamides, aminoethanols,
and catechols [3, 6 – 11]. The typical ferrocenyl-
dithiophosphonate [FcP(OR)S2]− anions (R = alkyl,
aryl) may directly react with a range of metal ions
Experimental Section
Generals
All syntheses were performed in oven-dried glassware un-
der a purified nitrogen atmosphere using standard Schlenk
techniques. All reagents, unless otherwise stated, were pur-
chased as analysis grade and were used without further pu-
rification. [FcP(S)(µ-S)]2 [3] and Pd(MeCN)2Cl2 [12] were
prepared according to procedures described in the liter-
ature. [Ag(PPh3)2(NO3)] was obtained from the reaction
of PPh3 with AgNO3 in CH3OH : CH2Cl2 (2 : 1) solution.
NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker ALX 300 spec-
trometer operating at 300 and 121.5 MHz for 1H and 31P, re-
spectively. Chemical shifts (δ, ppm) are reported with refer-
ence to SiMe4 (1H) and H3PO4 (31P), respectively. Infrared
spectra (KBr) were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer 16 PC FT-
IR spectrophotometer with the use of pressed KBr pellets,
and positive FAB mass spectra were recorded on a Finnigan
TSQ 7000 spectrometer. Elemental analysis was performed
using a Perkin-Elmer 2400 CHN analyzer.
(Au+, Rh+, Ni2+, Pd2+, Pt2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+
,
Sn4+, and Pb2+), resulting in the formation of new
heterometallic complexes containing the electron-
rich and aromatic ferrocene groups [3 – 5, 8]. So far,
the use of these ferrocenyl-phosphonodithiolate lig-
ands as synthons for polynuclear metal clusters has
been largely overlooked. Here we report the reac-
tions of [Ag(PPh3)2]+ and [Pd(MeCN)2]2+ species
with [FcP(S)(µ-S)]2 in the presence of sodium
