Überraschende Reaktionen an O-Methyl-1,1-dithiooxalaten

Surprising Reactions on O-Methyl-1,1-dithiooxalates The O-methyl-1,1-dithiooxalate ligand (i-dtoMe) reacts with metal^II-acetylacetonates of d⁸ metal centers (Ni^II, Pd^II) forming mononuclear mixed ligand complexes with two remarkable aspects: The formation of a perthioligand, first time described for thiooxalates, and the first example of a nucleophilic attack of a CH-acidic compound (acetylacetonate) on dithiocarbon of coordinated dithiocompounds (here i-dtoMe). X-ray structure is shown for Ph₄P(ptoMe)Ni(i-dtoMeacac)].
