Reactions of [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4] with the diarylthallium(III) bromides Ar2TlBr [Ar = Ph and p-ClC6H4] in methanol gave good yields of the thallium(III) adducts [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4TlAr2]+, isolated as their BPh4- salts. The corresponding selenide complex [Pt2(μ-Se)2(PPh3)4TlPh2]BPh4 was similarly synthesised from [Pt2(μ-Se)2(PPh3)4], Ph2TlBr and NaBPh4. The reaction of [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4] with PhTlBr2 gave [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4TlBrPh]+, while reaction with TlBr3 gave the dibromothallium(III) adduct [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4TlBr2]+[TlBr4]-. The latter complex is a rare example of a thallium(III) dihalide complex stabilised solely by sulfur donor ligands. X-ray crystal structure determinations on the complexes [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4TlPh2]BPh4, [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4TlBrPh]BPh4 and [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4TlBr2][TlBr4] reveal a greater interaction between the thallium(III) centre and the two sulfide ligands on stepwise replacement of Ph by Br, as indicated by shorter Tl-S and Pt?Tl distances, and an increasing S-Tl-S bond angle. Investigations of the ESI MS fragmentation behaviour of the thallium(III) complexes are reported.
