TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES OF 1,2-BIS(PHENYLSULFINYL) METHANE AND 1,2-BIS(PHENYLSULFINYL) ETHANE

Abstract

Complexes of the meso and racemic forms of the disulfoxides 1,2-bis(phenylsulfinyl) methane and 1,2-bis (phenylsulfinyl) ethane have been synthesized and characterized. Bond type and ligand field parameters have been determined from infrared and visible-uv diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. There were essentially no observed differences in the properties of complexes of the meso and racemic forms of the ligands.
