The cationic complexes Ru2[(p-MeC6H4iPr)2 (p-SC6H4Br)3]+ and Rh2[(C5Me5)2 (p-SC6H4Br)3]+ are available in quantitative yields from the reaction of p-HSC6H4Br with [Ru(p-MeC6H4iPr)Cl2]2 and [Rh(C5Me5)Cl2]2 respectively. These complexes are found to undergo triple Suzuki coupling with oligophenylene boronic acids to give [Ru2(p-MeC6H4iPr)2 [p-S-(C6H4)n-C6 H5}3]+ and [Rh2(C5Me5)2{p-S- (C6H4)n-C6H5} 3]+ respectively. The star-like trisbromo complexes are potential precursors for the insertion of dinuclear organometallic entities into the main chain of conjugated molecules. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The complex [Cp*Rh(μ-SPh)3RhCp*]Cl was used as a starting material to synthesize various oligomeric materials of the general formula [Cp *Rh(μ-SPh)x(μ-Cl)3-x(Rh(μ-SPh) 3}n,RhCp*] (x = 1 to 3; n = 1 to 4), which are formally formed by insertion of nRh(SPh)3 units into one μ-Rh-SPh. bond. The insertion of Ir(SPh)3 was also observed to generate the heterotrimetallic species. All complexes were observed by using HRMS-TOF and [Cp*Rh(μ-SPh)3Rh(μ-SPh)3RhCp*]Cl, [3+]Cl, was characterized, by using X-ray crystallography.
