Metallcarbonylkomplexe mit mehrzähnigen ringförmigen Liganden. I. Pentacarbonylkomplexe des s-Trithians und verwandter Verbindungen

Carbonyl Metal Compounds with Polydentate Cyclic Ligands. I. Pentacarbonyl Complexes of s-Trithiane and Related Compounds The complexes (RCHS)_nM(CO)₅ (R = H, CH₃, n = 3; R = H, n = 4; M = Cr^, Mo, W) were prepared from the tetrahydrofuran pentacarbonyl metal compounds and the respective ligands. The Cotton-Kraihanzel force constants of these complexes indicate the sulfur ligands to be slightly more basic than triphenylphosphine. The trimethyltrithiane complexes (R = CH₃, n = 3) exhibit rapid intramolecular exchange of the M(CO)₅-group along the three coordination centers of the ligand.
