Sulfides bidentate

The red tetrathiomolybdate ion appears to be a principal participant in the biological Cu—Mo antagonism and is reactive toward other transition-metal ions to produce a wide variety of heteronuclear transition-metal sulfide complexes and clusters (13,14). For example, tetrathiomolybdate serves as a bidentate ligand for Co, forming Co(MoSTetrathiomolybdates and their mixed metal complexes are of interest as catalyst precursors for the hydrotreating of petroleum (qv) (15) and the hydroHquefaction of coal (see Coal conversion processes) (16). The intermediate forms MoOS Mo02S 2> MoO S have also been prepared (17). 

The readily available oxazolines (L19) are used in the cross-coupling of arylboronic acids with aryl bromides, including nonactivated ones in the system (Pd(OAc)2/L, Cs2C03, dioxane, 80 °C). It is notable that the system works well at 1 1 Pd L ratio.442 A simple sulfide complex showed similar activity (PdCl2(SEt2)2, K3P04, DMF, 130°C).18 A series of bidentate N,N-donor ligands... 

Polysulfides of several metals can be prepared by reaction of the metals with excess sulfur in liquid NH3 (group IA metals) or by heating sulfur with the molten metal sulfide. The polysulfide ion binds to metals to form coordination compounds in which it is attached to the metal by both sulfur atoms (as a so-called bidentate ligand). One example is an unusual titanium complex containing the S52-ion that is produced by the following reaction (the use of h to denote the bonding mode of the cyclo-pentadienyl ion is explained in Chapter 16) ... 

Buynak et al. [53] synthesized several 6-(mercaptomethyl) penicillanates (9r and 9s, Table 1) that include both C-6 stereoisomers as well as the sulfide and sulfone oxidation states of the penam thiazolidine sulfur. Selected mercaptomethyl penicillanates inactivated both metallo- and serine /5-lactamases, and displayed synergism with piperacillin against various //-lactamase-producing strains, including metallo-/5-lactamase-producing P. aeruginosa strain. Compound 9r would be capable of bidentate chelation of zinc subsequent to enzymatic hydrolysis of the /5-lactam (Scheme 3). 

The reaction of carbonyl sulfide with [M(02)(PPh3)2] (where M = Pd or Pt) has resulted in the first reported examples of transition metal complexes of the monothiocarbonate anion (47 R = O-). Bidentate S—O coordination was concluded from 3IP H NMR analyses of these compounds.184 A short structural review of metal complexes of monothiocarbamate ions (47 R = N(R )R") demonstrates their varied coordination chemistry.185 In complexes of the dialkyl forms the sulfur atom is seen to have considerable mercaptide character , whereas aromatic amine derivatives demonstrate C—S and M—S partial multiple bonding.185,251 A review on the coordination chemistry of these ligands has appeared.186 Additional detail is provided in Chapter 16.4 of this volume. 

Mo(SR)2]3, 14173). Their structures are shown schematically in Fig. 7. Complexes 10-13 contain discrete bidentate tetrathiomolybdate moieties attached to tetrahedral Fe sites, while 14 contains square pyramidal Mo(V) with one terminal and two bridging sulfide ligands. 

The neutral complex [Fe2(CO)6S2] (65) is known to undergo reduction to form the disulfide-bridged dimeric compound [Fe4S4(CO)i2]2- (66),60 which on further reduction yields [Fe2(CO)6S2]2 (67).61-62 The nucleophilic character of the bridging sulfides in the fully reduced dianion 67 is demonstrated by its reaction with a variety of metal halides to yield metal clusters in which the butterfly unit of 67 acts as a bidentate ligand coordinated via the bridging sulfides.63-66 With alkyl halides, 67 reacts to form S-alkylated products.60-63...
