Formation of Novel Bidentate and Crown Thioether Ligands via Dicobalt Alkyne Complexes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39910000349

Open chain and cyclic thioalkyne complexes capable of ligating metal-carbonyl moieties are prepared by the reaction of CCH2OH)(CO)6> with mono- and di-thiols in the presence of HBF4 and the structures of Mo(CO)4> and (CO)6> have been established by X-ray crystallography; dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane.
