The reactions of Na[C(5)(CN)(5)] (Na[1]) with group 11 phosphine complexes [(P)(n)MCl] (M = Cu, Ag, Au, P = Ph(3)P; M = Cu, P = dppe (Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))] give a range of compounds containing the pentacyanocyclopentadienide ligand, [C(5)(CN)(5)](-) (1). The new complexes [(Ph(3)P)(2)M{1}](2) [M = Cu (3); M = Ag (5)], [(Ph(3)P)(3)Ag{1}] (4), [(dppe)(3)Cu(2){1}(2)] (6) and [Au(PPh(3))(2)][1] (7) include the first complete series of group 11 complexes of any cyclopentadienide ligand to be structurally characterised.

Gold derivatives of scorpionates: comparison with the other coinage metal poly(pyrazolyl)borate analogues

Gold derivatives [Au(Tpx)(PR3)](Tpx = Tp, hydrotris(pyrazol-1-yl)borate or Tp*, hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate; R = Ph or tBu) and [Au(pzTp)(PR3)x](pzTp = tetrakis(pyrazol-1-yl)borate, x = 1 or 2, R = Ph or tBu) have been synthesised and characterized both in solution (1H- and 31P[1H]-NMR) and in the solid state (IR, single crystal X-ray structure analysis, 31P CPMAS). 31P [1H] NMR solution data suggest greater stability of the tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate relative to those of tris(pyrazolyl)borate. All compounds are fluxional at room temperature. In order to compare [Au(Tp*)(PPh3)] with analogous coinage metal adducts we have synthesized and structurally characterized [Cu(Tp*)(PPh3)] x PPh3 and [Ag(Tp*)(PPh3)] x 2MeCN. In [Au(Tp*)(PPh3)] the gold atom adopts a distorted tetrahedral geometry with 2.181(5) and 2.37(2) angstroms (cf. 2.166(6), 2.098(1) in [Cu(Tp*)PPh3], 2.156(2), 2.075(7) in [Cu(Tp*)(PPh3)] x PPh3; and in [Ag(Tp*)PPh3] x MeCN 2.347(12), 2.35(5) angstroms). There are three independent [Au(Tp*)(PPh3)] molecules in the asymmetric unit of the structure with their PAu...B axes lying on the cell diagonal of a cubic P213 cell, two with the same chirality aligned opposed in direction to the third which is of opposite chirality. A number of Cu, Ag and Au complexes containing scorpionate ligands have also been investigated by 31P cross-polarization magic-angle-spinning (CPMAS) NMR spectroscopy.     

Tetranuclear [Rh4(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)4] complexes as building blocks for new inorganic architectures: synthesis of coordination polymers and heteropolynuclear complexes with electrophilic d8 and d10 metal fragments

The reaction of [Rh4(mu-PyS2)2(cod)4] (PyS2 = 2,6-pyridinedithiolate, cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with CF3SO3Me gave the cationic complex [Rh(4)(mu-PyS(2)Me)(2)(cod)4][CF3SO3]2 (1) with two 6-(thiomethyl)pyridine-2-thiolate bridging ligands from the attack of Me+ at the terminal sulfur atoms of the starting material. Under identical conditions [Rh4(mu-PyS2)2(tfbb)4] (tfbb = tetrafluorobenzobarrelene) reacted with CF3SO3Me to give the mixed-ligand complex [Rh(4)(mu-PyS2)(mu-PyS2Me)(tfbb)4][CF3SO3] 2. The nucleophilicity of the bridging ligands in the complexes [Rh4(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)4] was exploited to prepare heteropolynuclear species. Reactions with [Au(PPh3)(Me2CO)][ClO4] gave the hexanuclear complexes [(PPh3)2Au2Rh4(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)4][ClO4]2 (diolefin = cod (3), tfbb (4)). The structure of 4, solved by X-ray diffraction methods, showed the coordination of the [Au(PPh3)]+ fragments to the peripheral sulfur atoms in [Rh4(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)4] along with their interaction with the neighbor rhodium atoms. Neutral coordination polymers of formula [ClMRh4(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)4]n (M = Cu (5, 6), Au (7)) result from the self-assembly of alternating [Rh4(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)4] ([Rh4]) blocks and MCl linkers. The formation of the infinite polymetallic chains was found to be chiroselective for M = Cu; one particular chain contains exclusively homochiral [Rh4] complexes. Cationic heterometallic coordination polymers of formula [MRh4(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)4]n[BF4]n (M = Ag (8, 9), Cu (10, 11)) and [Rh5(mu-PyS2)2(diolefin)5]n[BF4]n (12, 13) result from the reactions of [Rh4] with [Cu(CH2CN)4]BF4, AgBF4, and [Rh(diolefin)(Me2CO)2]BF4, respectively. The heterometallic coordination polymers exhibit a weak electric conductivity in the solid state in the range (1.2-2.8) x 10(-7) S cm(-1).     

Terminally Bifurcated Tetraaurio-alpha,omega-bis(sulfonium) Salts as Building Blocks for Auriophilicity-Determined Coordination Polymers

Treatment of alpha,omega-dithiols HS(CH(2))(n)()SH, n = 4 or 5, with tris[(triphenylphosphine)aurio]oxonium tetrafluoroborate affords the corresponding S,S,S',S'-tetrakis[(triphenylphosphine)aurio]-alpha,omega-alkanediylbis(sulfonium) bis(tetrafluoroborates) of the type {[(Ph(3)P)Au](2)S(CH(2))(n)()S[Au(PPh(3))](2)}(2+)2BF(4)(-). The crystal structure of the species with n = 5 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In the lattice the unfolded dications are linked into chains through short double Au-Au contacts between the terminal bifurcated diauriosulfonium centers. The analogous reactions with (racemic) 1,2-dithioglycerol and 1,2,3-trithioglycerol also give tri- and tetranuclear complexes with a varying distribution of the metal atoms over the chalcogen(ium) centers. As again demonstrated in a single crystal X-ray diffraction study, the dications {HOCH(2)HCS[(Ph(3)P)Au](2)CH(2)S[Au(PPh(3))](2)}(2+) of the dithioglycerol compound form only dimers through auriophilicity-determined pairing of the bifurcated ends, while the open ends are shielded by the dangling hydroxyl group. The trinuclear complex of 1,2-dithioglycerol is fluxional in solution; the crystal structure has not been determined but is expected to be similar to that derived for the analogous dithioglycol complex. The tetranuclear, trithioglycerol-based dications of {[(Ph(3)P)Au]SCH(2)CHS[Au(PPh(3))]CH(2)S[Au(PPh(3))](2)}(+)BF(4)(-) are isolated in the lattice and feature an unsymmetrical complexation, which is an extension of the structure of the trinuclear dithioglycol analogue {(CH(2)S)(2)[Au(PPh(3))](3)}(+) with its strong intramolecular Au-Au contacts. A similar structure is proposed for the monocation {CH(2)(CH(2)S)(2)[Au(PPh(3))](3)}(+) obtained from propane-1,3-dithiol. The structures of these cations are also fluxional in solution, however, as shown by variable-temperature NMR studies.     

Tuning charge recombination rate constants through inner-sphere coordination in a copper(I) donor-acceptor compound

The coordination compounds [Cu(bpy-MV2+)(PPh3)2](PF6)3, where bpy-MV2+ is the 1-(4-(4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridin-4-yl)butyl)-1'-methyl-4, 4'-bipyridinediium(2+) cation, and [Cu(dmb)(PPh3)2](PF6), where dmb is 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, have been prepared and characterized. Visible light (417 nm) excitation of [Cu(bpy-MV2+)(PPh3)2]3+ at room temperature leads to rapid intramolecular electron transfer, kcs > 1 x 10(8) s-1, to form a charge-separated state with an electron localized on the pendant viologen group and a copper(II) metal center, abbreviated [CuII-bpy-MV.+]. This state recombines to ground-state products with first-order rate constants that can be tuned with solvent over a approximately 10(7)-10(5) s-1 range. The activation parameters were determined from temperature-dependent electron-transfer data with Arrhenius analysis. A model is proposed wherein a solvent molecule is coordinated to Cu(II) in the charge-separated state, [(S)CuII-bpy-MV.+]. Visible light excitation of [Cu(dmb)(PPh3)2](PF6) in argon-saturated dichloromethane produces long-lived photoluminescent excited states, tau = 80 ns, that are dynamically quenched by the addition of Lewis basic solvents. The measured quenching constants each correlate well with the lifetime of the charge-separated state measured after excitation of [Cu(bpy-MV2+)(PPh3)2]3+ in the corresponding solvent.     

Unprecedented luminescent heteropolynuclear aggregates with gold thiolates as building blocks

The reaction of [AuCl(P-N)], in which P-N represents a heterofunctional phosphine ligand, with pentafluorothiophenol, HSC(6)F(5), gives the thiolate gold derivatives [Au(SC(6)F(5))(P-N)] (P-N = PPh(2)py (1), PPh(2)CH(2)CH(2)py (2), or PPhpy(2) (3)). Complex [Au(SC(6)F(5))(PPh(2)py)] (1) reacts with [Au(OTf)(PPh(2)py)] in a 1:1 or 1:2 molar ratio to afford the di- or trinuclear species [Au(2)(μ-SC(6)F(5))(PPh(2)py)(2)]OTf (4) and [Au(3)(μ(3)-SC(6)F(5))(PPh(2)py)(3)](OTf)(2) (5), with the thiolate acting as a doubly or triply bridging ligand. The reactivity of the mononuclear compounds [Au(SC(6)F(5))(P-N)] toward silver or copper salts in different ratios has been investigated. Thus, the treatment of [Au(SC(6)F(5))(P-N)] with Ag(OTf) or [Cu(NCMe)(4)]PF(6) in a 1:1 molar ratio gives complexes of stoichiometry [AuAg(OTf)(μ-SC(6)F(5))(P-N)] (P-N = PPh(2)py (6), PPh(2)CH(2)CH(2)py (7), or PPhpy(2) (8)) or [AuCu(μ-SC(6)F(5))(P-N)(NCMe)]PF(6) (P-N = PPh(2)py (9), PPh(2)CH(2)CH(2)py (10), or PPhpy(2) (11)). These complexes crystallize as dimers and display different coordination modes of the silver or copper center, depending on the present functionalized phosphine ligand. The treatment of [Au(SC(6)F(5))(PPh(2)py)] with silver and copper compounds in other molar ratios has been carried out. In a 2:1 ratio, the complexes [Au(2)M(μ-SC(6)F(5))(2)(μ-PPh(2)py)(2)]X (M = Ag, X = OTf (12); M = Cu, X = PF(6) (13)) are obtained. The same reaction in a 4:3 molar ratio affords the species [Au(4)M(2)(μ-SC(6)F(5))(3)(μ-PPh(2)py)(4)]X(3) (M = Ag, X = OTf (14); M = Cu, X = PF(6) (15)). The crystal structures of some of these complexes reveal different interactions among the metallic d(10) centers. The complexes display dual emission. The band at higher energy has been attributed to intraligand (IL) transitions, and the one at lower energy has been assigned to a ligand to metal (LM) charge transfer process. The latter emission is modulated by the heterometal (silver or copper).     

Supramolecular luminescent gold(I)-copper(I) complexes: self-assembly of the Au(x)Cu(y) clusters inside the [Au3(diphosphine)3]3+ triangles

The reactions between diphosphino-alkynyl gold complexes (PhC2Au)PPh2(C6H4)(n)PPh2(AuC2Ph) (n = 1, 2, 3) with Cu(+) lead to formation of the heterometallic aggregates, the composition of which may be described by a general formula [{Au(x)Cu(y)(C2Ph)2x}Au3{PPh2(C6H4)(n)PPh2}3](3+(y-x)) (n = 1, 2, 3; x = (n + 1)(n + 2)/2; y = n(n + 1)). These compounds display very similar structural patterns and consist of the [Au(x)Cu(y)(C2Ph)2x](y-x) alkynyl clusters "wrapped" in the [Au3(diphosphine)3](3+) triangles. The complex for n = 1 was characterized crystallographically and spectrally, the larger ones (n = 2, 3) were investigated in detail by NMR spectroscopy. Their luminescence behavior has been studied, and a remarkably efficient emission with a maximum quantum yield of 0.92 (n = 1) has been detected. Photophysical experiments demonstrate that an increase of the size of the aggregates leads to a decrease in photostability and photoefficiency. Computational studies have been performed to provide additional insight into the structural and electronic properties of these supramolecular complexes. The theoretical results obtained are in good agreement with the experimental data, supporting the proposed structural motif. These studies also suggest that the observed efficient long-wavelength luminescence originates from metal-centered transitions within the heterometallic Au-Cu core.     

Complexes of N-thiophosphorylthioureas (HL) with copper(I). Crystal structures of [Cu3L3] and [Cu(PPh3)2L] chelates

Reaction of the potassium salts of N-thiophosphorylated thioureas of common formula RC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)(2) [R = morpholin-N-yl (HL(a)), piperidin-N-yl (HL(b)), NH(2) (HL(c)), PhCH(2)NH (HL(d))] with Cu(PPh(3))(3)I in aqueous EtOH/CH(2)Cl(2) leads to mononuclear [Cu(PPh(3))(2)L-S,S'] complexes. Using copper(i) iodide instead of Cu(PPh(3))(3)I, polynuclear complexes [Cu(n)(L-S,S')(n)] were obtained. The structures of these compounds were investigated by ES-MS, elemental analyses, 1H and 31P NMR in solution, IR and 31P solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of [Cu(3)L(3)(a)] and [Cu(PPh(3))(2)L(b)] were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Heteropolynuclear complexes with the ligand Ph2PCH2SPh: theoretical evidence for metallophilic Au-M attractions

Addition of two equivalents of diphenylthiomethylphosphine (PPh2-CH2SPh) to the starting materials [Au(tht)2]A (tht = tetrahydrothiophene), AgCF3SO3, or [Cu(CH3CN)4]CF3SO3 produces the mononuclear derivatives [M(PPh2CH2SPh)2]A (M = Au, A = CF3SO3 (1a); M = Au, A = ClO4 (1b); M = Ag, A = CF3SO3 (4); M = Cu, A = CF3SO3 (5)) which are able to form the heterodinuclear complexes [AuM'(PPh2CH2SPh)2](CF3SO3)2 (M' = Ag (2), Cu (3)) with a P-Au-P environment. If the starting gold complex is [Au(C6F5)(tht)], reaction with the phosphine produces [Au(C6F5)-(PPh2CH2SPh)] (6) from which, by reaction with AgCF3SO3 or [Cu(CH3CN)4]CF3SO3, the "snake"-type linear complexes [Au2M(C6F5)2-(PPh2CH2SPh)2]CF3SO3 (M = Ag (7), Cu (8)) are obtained. If the silver starting complex is AgCF3CO2, reaction in a 1:1 ratio gives the tetranuclear complex [Au2Ag2(C6F5)2(PPh2CH2SPh)2-(CF3CO2)2] (9). When the molar ratio is 1:2 the trinuclear complex [AuAg2(C6F5) (CF3CO2)2(PPh2CH2SPh)] (10) is obtained. According to ab initio calculations, the presence of only one gold atom is enough to induce metallophilic attractions in the group congeners, and this effect can be modulated depending on the gold ligand.     

Synthesis, characterization, and X-ray structure determination of [Au18(P)2(PPh)4(PHPh)(dppm)6]Cl3

The reaction of [(AuCl)2dppm] (dppm=Ph2PCH2PPh2) with PhP(SiMe3)2 and P(SiMe3)3 leads to the formation of the gold cluster compound [Au18(P)2(PPh)4(PHPh)(dppm)6]Cl3 (1). The crystal structure investigation shows a central Au7P2 unit formed by two P centered gold tetrahedra sharing the central gold corner. This central unit is surrounded by a 10-membered Au5P5 ring which, together with the remaining six gold atoms, builds two Au4P rectangular and two Au3P trigonal pyramids. The different structure motifs are connected by the phosphine ligands. The compound has been characterized using microanalysis, IR spectroscopy, ESI-MS, and 31P NMR techniques. Luminescence measurements have also been carried out.

Group 11 complexes with unsymmetrical P,S and P,Se disubstituted ferrocene ligands

The reaction of the unsymmetrical ligands 1-diphenylphosphino-1'-(phenylsulfanyl)ferrocene and 1-diphenylphosphino-1'-(phenylselenyl)ferrocene, Fc(EPh)PPh2(E = S, Se), with several group 11 metal derivatives leads to the synthesis of complexes of the type [MX{Fc(EPh)PPh2}](M = Au, X = Cl, C6F5; M = Ag, X = OTf), (OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate), [M{Fc(EPh)PPh2}2]X (M = Au, X = ClO4; M = Ag, X = OTf), [M(PPh3){Fc(EPh)PPh2}]OTf (M = Au, Ag), [Au2{Fc(SPh)PPh2}2](ClO4)2, [Au(C6F5)2{Fc(SePh)PPh2}]ClO4, [Au(C6F5)3{Fc(EPh)PPh2}], [Au2(C6F5)6{Fc(SePh)PPh2}] or [Cu{Fc(EPh)PPh2}2]PF6(E = S, Se). In these complexes coordination depends upon the metal centre; with gold it takes place predominantly to the phosphorus atom and with silver and copper to both phosphorus and chalcogen atoms. The treatment of some of the gold complexes with other metal centres affords heterometallic derivatives that in some cases are in equilibrium with the homometallic derivatives. Several compounds have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, four pairs of homologous compounds, yet not a single pair is isotypic. In many of them a three dimensional network is formed through secondary bonds such as hydrogen bonds, Au...Cl or Au...Se interactions. The complex [Ag(OTf){Fc(SePh)PPh2}] forms one-dimensional chains through trifluoromethanesulfonate bridging ligands.     

Cytotoxic gold compounds: synthesis, biological characterization and investigation of their inhibition properties of the zinc finger protein PARP-1

The new gold(III) complexes: [Au{2-(2'-pyridyl)imidazolate}Cl(2)] and [Au{2,6-bis(2'-benzimidazolate)pyridine}(OCOCH(3))] and the mono- and binuclear gold(I) complexes: [Au{2-(2'-pyridyl)imidazole}(PPh(3))](PF(6)), [Au(2-phenylimidazolate)(DAPTA)] (DAPTA = 3,7-diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane), [(PPh(3)Au)(2)(2-R-imidazolate)](PF(6)) (R = 2-C(5)H(4)N, Ph) have been synthesized and characterized. The structure of the [(PPh(3)Au)(2){2-(2'-pyridyl)imidazolate)](PF(6)) complex was also characterized by X-ray crystallography. The antiproliferative properties of the complexes were assayed against human ovarian carcinoma cell lines, either sensitive (A2780) or resistant to cisplatin (A2780cisR), human mammary carcinoma cells (MCF7) and non-tumorigenic human kidney (HEK293) cells. Most of the studied compounds showed important cytotoxic effects. Interestingly, the compounds containing the 2-(2'-pyridyl)imidazolate ligand showed selectivity towards cancer cells with respect to the non-tumorigenic ones, with the dinuclear compound [(PPh(3)Au)(2){2-(2'-pyridyl)imidazolate)](PF(6)) being the most active. Some compounds were also screened for their inhibitory effect of the zinc-finger protein PARP-1, essential for DNA repair and relevant to the mechanisms of cancer cell resistance to cisplatin. Interaction studies of the compounds with the model protein ubiquitin were undertaken by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS). The results are discussed in relation to the putative mechanisms of action of the cytotoxic gold compounds.     

Heteropolynuclear phosphide complexes: phosphorus as unique atom bridging coinage metal centres

In this paper we describe the synthesis and reactivity of the diphenylphosphine derivatives [Au(C6F5)(PPh2H)] and trans-[Au(C6F5)2(PPh2H)2]ClO4. Reactions of the latter or the neutral [Au(C6F5)3(PPh2H)] with the appropriate Group 11 metal reagents (M = Au, Ag, Cu) in the presence of acetylacetonate afford a series of novel Au(III)-M phosphido-bridged complexes, which have been scarcely represented to date. The crystal structure of the tetranuclear [(Au(C6F5)2(mu-PPh2)2Ag)2] and the dinuclear [Au(C6F5)3(mu-PPh2)M(PPh3)] (M = Au,Ag) complexes were established by X-ray diffraction methods. The synthesis and deprotonating activity of the anionic gold(III) complex PPN[Au(C6F5)3(acac)] (PNN = [N(PPh3)2]+) was studied.     

Photochemical synthesis and reactivity studies of dirhenacarboranes

Ultraviolet irradiation of [PPh(4)][closo-1-CB(8)H(9)] with [Re(2)(CO)(10)] in THF (tetrahydrofuran) at ambient temperature affords the dirhenacarborane anion [6,10-{Re(CO)(4)}-10-(micro-H)-6,6,6-(CO)(3)-closo-6,1-ReCB(8)H(8)]-, isolated as its [PPh(4)]+ salt (1). Further irradiation of 1 yields a second isomeric anion [6,10-{Re(CO)(4)}-6-(micro-H)-10,10,10-(CO)(3)-closo-10,1-ReCB(8)H(8)]- that was characterized as a [N(PPh(3))(2)]+ salt (2). Reaction of 1 with NOBF(4) produces the neutral dirhenacarborane compound [8,10-{Re(CO)(4)}-8,10-(micro-H)2-6,6-(CO)(2)-6-NO-closo-6,1-ReCB(8)H(7)] (3). Compounds 1-3 all consist of a central {closo-ReCB(8)} cluster with a second rhenium center which is exo-polyhedral. Attempts to substitute the carbonyl ligands of 3 with other donor ligands such as phosphines, isocyanides, or alkynes resulted in loss of the exo-polyhedral rhenium moiety and formation of a monorhenium anion, [6,6-(CO)(2)-6-NO-closo-6,1-ReCB(8)H(9)]-, isolated as its [N(PPh(3))(2)]+ salt (4). The heterometallic dimetallacarborane species, [6,7,10-{Cu(PPh(3))}-7,10-(micro-H)2-6,6-(CO)(2)-6-NO-closo-6,1-ReCB(8)H(7)] (5) and [6,7-{Au(PPh(3))}-7-(micro-H)-6,6-(CO)(2)-6-NO-closo-6,1-ReCB(8)H(8)] (6) were formed from reactions of 4 with {Cu(PPh(3))}+ and {Au(PPh(3))}+, respectively. Similarly, reaction of 4 with {Ir(CO)(PPh(3))(2)}+ afforded two products, [6,10-{Ir(micro-PPh(2))(Ph)(CO)(PPh(3))}-10-(micro-H)-6-CO-6-NO-closo-6,1-ReCB(8)H(8)] (7) and [6,9,10-{Ir(micro-PPh(2))(H)(PPh(3))}-9-(micro-H)-6-CO-6-NO-10-Ph-closo-6,1-ReCB(8)H(8)] (8). The solid-state structures of compounds 1-8 were all unequivocally established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments.

Coinage metal complexes of 2-diphenylphosphino-3-methylindole

Coordination of P,N indolyl-phosphine ligands to Au(I), Ag(I) and Cu(I) metal ions under weakly basic conditions results in easy deprotonation of the indolyl N-H function and effective formation of a family of homo- and heterobimetallic complexes MM'(PPh(2)C(9)H(7)N)(2) (M = M' = Au (2), Ag (5); M = Au, M' = Cu (3), Ag (4)). The latter (4) exists as an inseparable mixture of four different complexes, which are in equilibrium driven by slow dynamics. The reaction of silver(I) and copper(I) ions with PPh(2)(C(9)H(8)N) affords a rare tetranuclear Z-shaped cluster Ag(2)Cu(2)(PPh(2)C(9)H(7)N)(4) (6), which exhibits red luminescence in solid state (650 nm) and a weak dual emission in solution with the main component in the near-IR region (746 nm).     

Polynuclear and mixed-ligand mononuclear Cu(I) complexes with N-thiophosphorylated thioureas and 1,10-phenanthroline or PPh3

Deprotonation of the N-thiophosphorylated thioureas RC(S)NHP(S)(OiPr)(2) (R = Me(2)N, HL(I); iPrNH, HL(II); 2,6-Me(2)C(6)H(3)NH, HL(III), 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2)NH, HL(IV), aza-15-crown-5, HL(V)) and reaction with CuI or Cu(NO(3))(2) in aqueous EtOH leads to the polynuclear complexes [Cu(4)(L(I)-S,S')(4)], [Cu(8)(L(II)-S,S')(8)], and [Cu(3)(L(III-V)-S,S')(3)]. The structures of these compounds were investigated by IR, (1)H, (31)P{(1)H} NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy and elemental analyses. The crystal structures of [Cu(4)L(I)(4)], [Cu(8)L(II)(8)], [Cu(3)L(III,IV)(3)] were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Reaction of the deprotonated ligands (L(I-V))(-) with a mixture of CuI and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or PPh(3) leads to the mixed-ligand mononuclear complexes [Cu(phen)L(I-V)], [Cu(PPh(3))L(I-V)] or [Cu(PPh(3))(2)L(I-V)]. The same mixed-ligand complexes were obtained from the reaction of [Cu(4)L(I)(4)], [Cu(8)L(II)(8)], [Cu(3)L(III-V)(3)] with phen or PPh(3).     

Synthesis and structural characterization of silanethiolato complexes having tert-butyldimethylsilyl and trimethylsilyl groups

Treatment of cyclotrisilathiane (Me2SiS)3 with 3 equiv. of RLi (R = Me, But) in hexane-Et2O afforded the lithium silanethiolates LiSSiMe2R, and the tmeda adduct [(tmeda)LiSSiMe2But]2 1 (tmeda =N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) was isolated in the case of R = But. Reaction of Fe(CH3CN)2(CF3SO3)2, CoCl2, and [Cu(CH3CN)4](PF6) with 1 gave rise to the silanethiolato complexes M(SSiMe2But)2(tmeda)(M = Fe 2, Co 3), and [Cu(SSiMe2But)]4 4, respectively. Complexes (C5H5)2Ti(SSiMe2R)2(R = Me 5, But 6) and Ni(SSiMe2R)2(dppe)[R = Me 7, But 8; dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane] were prepared from treatments of (C5H5)2TiCl2 and NiCl2(dppe) with the corresponding lithium silanethiolates. Complex 7 readily reacted with (C5H5)TiCl3 to produce the Ti-Ni heterobimetallic compound (C5H5)TiCl(mu-S)2Ni(dppe) 9, in which silicon-sulfur bond cleavage took place. Characterization of all compounds through spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses are also described. X-Ray structural data for compounds 1 and 3-9 are reported.
