Cationic Rhodium(I) Complexes of 1,4,8,11-Tetrathiacyclotetradecane (aneS4) and the 6,6,13,13-Tetramethyl Analogue (Me4aneS4). Preparation of Two Conformers, X-Ray Crystal Structure of (RhaneS4))2Cl2*MeCN, and Conformational Effect on the Nucleophilicity of the Rhodium(I) Ion

Two conformers for the cationic rhodium(I) complexes of the title 14-membered cyclic tetrasulphides have been prepared on the conformational effect upon the nucleophilicity of rhodium(I) ion is shown by the oxidative addition reaction of CH2Cl2; (Rh<14>aneS4)Cl (1), in which the Rh atom lies 0.133(2) Angstroem above the plane of four S atoms, forms a dimer through a Rh...Rh <3.313(1) Angstroem> and four Rh...S <3.697(9)-3.822(3) Angstroem> intermolecular non-bonded interactions as established by an X-ray crystal structure determination.
