Metallophilicity in annular Ru 2 M 2 derivatives of (HMB)Ru II (tpdt) versus (bis)-η 2 -dithiolate bonding in Ru 2 M derivatives of Cp*Ru III (tpdt) (HMB = η 6 -C 6 Me 6 ; Cp* = η 5 -C 5 Me 5 ; M = Cu I , Ag I,II , Au I ; tpdt = 3-thiapentane-1,5-dithiolate)

Abstract

The reaction of [(HMB)RuII(η3-tpdt)] (1: HMB = η6-C6Me6; tpdt = S(CH2CH 2S-)2) with [Cu(MeCN)4]PF 6, AgPF6, and (PPh3)AuCl gave the annular species [{(HMB)RuII(μ3-η1: η1:η3-tpdt)}2(M)2] 2+ [3: M = CuI; 3A: (M)2 = CuI, CuI(MeCN); 4: M = AgI ; 6: M = Show more
