| Abstract: | Phosphorane Iminato Complexes of Sulfur. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of O3SS(NPPh3)2] · CH3CN, SO(NPPh3)2], and SCl(NPMe3)2]Cl The title compounds have been prepared by the reaction of Me3SiNPPh3 with SO2 and SOCl2, respectively, and by the reaction of Me3SiNPMe3 with S2Cl2. They form colourless, moisture sensitive crystals, which were characterized by IR spectroscopy and by crystal structure determinations.
