| Abstract: | The complexes Cr(CO)5(R′SNR2) [R′ = CH3; NR2 = N(CH3)2, N(C4H8)O. R′ = C6H5; NR2 = N(CH3)2, N(C4H4)O, N(CH2? C6H5)2, N(C6H11)2] have been prepared by reaction of the sulfenamides with Cr(CO)5 · THF and characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods. The IR, 1H-NMR, UV-VIS, and mass spectra of the complexes support the coordination of the sulfenamide via the sulfur atom. π-acceptor abilities of sulfenamides in the prepared coordination compounds, determined from IR and UV-VIS data, were compared with those of other divalent sulfur conpounds. |
