Energy of activation for pyramidal inversion

Platinum and palladium complexes of thietane and 3,3-dimethylthietane have been prepared as illustrated for 90. The platinum complexes exist in cis and trans configurations, but no cis-trans isomerization of the palladium complexes in the solid state was observed. Stability constants of thietane with Mn(ll), Co(II), and Ni(II) chelates have been determined. Proton nmr studies show that the absorption of the a-methylene protons, which are syn to the metal, is shifted downfield (about 0.7 ppm) more than the absorption of the protons anti to the metal (about 0.4 ppm downfield). Energies of activation for pyramidal inversion were determined. Bis-ruthenium complexes of di-, tri- and tetraspirothietanes (e.g., 90a) show rapid electron transfer between the ruthenium ions long-range electron tunneling was proposed. ...
