The tripodal tetradentate ligand H3btap coordinates to Vv, MoVI. and NiII via three different bonding modes to yield three complexes with unique ligand-based oxidation chemistry. For Vv and MoVI (1). all four of the heteroatom donors are coordinated to the metal ion forming a trigonal bipyramidal complex with the oxovanadium-(V) ion, VVO3+, and an octahedral complex with the cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) ion, [MoO2]2+. Only three of the heteroatom donors of H3btap are used to coordinate to NiII (2). two thiolate sulfurs and the amine nitrogen, yielding a dimeric structure in which each nickel(II) ion has NS3 coordination. The ability of VVO(btap) to form η2-sulfenates, while [MoO2(btap)]- does not form stable η2-sulfenates, has been ascribed to the electron-deficient, π-accepting nature of VVO3+ relative to [MoVIO2]2+.
