Thiolato-bridged dimolybdenum complexes are formed by treating with RSH (R=Me, Et, Prⁱ, or Bu^t) in the presence of NEt3.Infrared and variable-temperature n.m.r. spectroscopy reveal that the complexes exist as two isomers, arising from different relative orientations of the R groups on bridging sulphur. at ambient temperatures and above, these isomers interconvert rapidly, attributed to a low-energy sulphur inversion process, such that complete averaging of R group environments is achieved on the n.m.r. time scale.Interconverting isomers are also present for the monosubstituted derivatives t)3(η-C7H7)> , but for these only a limited averaging is observed, generating a time-averaged mirror plane of molecular symmetry.This results from the presence of a phosphorus ligand trans to one bridging sulphur and of CO trans to the other two, shown in an X-ray diffraction study of t)3(η-C7H7)>.Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, with four molecules in unit cell of dimensions a=10.186(7), b=15.677(7), c=19.821(15) Angstroem, and β=96.31(5) deg.The structure has been solved by conventional techniques and refined by least to R 0.046 for 5149 diffractometer-measured reflection intensities.Three bridging SBu^t groups display an asymmetric stereochemistry about a Mo-Mo bond <2.9460(15) Angstroem>, rationalised on the basis of intramolecular terminal ligand-bridging ligand contacts.One molybdenum is η⁷ co-ordinated to a cycloheptatrienyl ring while the other carries the two CO groups and a P(OMe)3 ligand.Metal-sulphur distances range over 2.411(2)-2.549(2) Angstroem and Mo-P is 2.445(2) Angstroem.Free energies of activation for sulphur inversion as low as 46 kJmol^-1 have been derived from coalescence temperatures for several complexes.
