Bidentate [S2]-donor bis(mercaptoimidazolyl) ligands, [BmMe] and [BmMes]~, have been synthesized by reaction of [BH4]~ with 2-mercapto-l-methylimidazole and 2-mercapto-l-mesitylimidazole, respectively. Subsequent treatment with ZnX2 (X = Me, I, NO}) yields a series ofl : 1 [BmR]ZnX complexes, namely [BmMe]ZnMe, [BmMe]ZnI and [BmM"]Zn(NO3), each of which possesses 3-center-2-electron [Zn H-B] interactions. The homoleptic complex, [BmM']2Zn, may be obtained by a redistribution reaction of [BmM']ZnMe in CHC13, and possesses a tetrahedral zinc center which is devoid of a 3-center-2-electron [Zn H-B] interaction.
