Heteroleptic dithiolenes ligand structures

The structural information collected here will hopefully provide helpful knowledge and potential insight into the syntheses, characterization, and properties of dithiolene structures as a whole, including heteroleptic coordination environments where dithiolene ligands are found. 

There is a large number of heteroleptic dithiolene complexes—complexes that contain at least one dithiolene and at least one other ligand. This chapter is focused on mononuclear and relatively simple dinuclear complexes. The electrochemistry of heteroleptic dithiolene complexes is only briefly discussed in view of the limited amount of data available. Oxodithiolene complexes are often studied as structural models for Mo and W enzymes and are reviewed in Chapter 10 in this volume (113). Focused here is the chemical reactivity of selected types of heteroleptic dithiolene complexes.
