Sulfur-donor ligands synthesis

Cyclometallated gold(III) dihalide complexes also act as useful precursors for the synthesis of gold(III) complexes with thiolate and other sulfur donor ligands. The cyclometallated ligand stabilises the gold(III) centre towards reduction, which is important due to the reducing potential of sulfur-based ligands. 

Miscellaneous Methods of Preparing Phosphines. Approaches to the synthesis of specific types of organophosphine have been reviewed, covering phosphinoaryloxazolines, /ra j-2,5-disubstituted phospholanes, " new chiral phosphines which have been reported since 1990, chiral hydroxyphos-phines, and phosphorus-sulfur donor ligands.The uses of phosphine (PH3) in the synthesis of organophosphines has also been reviewed. A direct route for the synthesis of arylphosphines is offered by the reaction of... 

The connection of the GOD/AGS with the organometallic chemistry of nickel has prompted the search for model complexes in order to mimic the activity of the enzyme. One of the difficulties associated with this task is that organometallic complexes of Ni supported by sulfur donor ligands are scarce. Two interesting examples of this type of compounds, 311 and 312, have been reported recently. The final step in the synthesis of acetylCoA has been... 

Macrocycles with 2 nitrogen and 3 sulfur donors have been prepared (14) by a template synthesis in which the dialdehyde (XCI) is condensed with primary diamines, e.g., ethylenediamine gives XCII in boiling acetonitrile containing Fe(II) perchlorate. The reaction is typical of template condensation between carbonyl compounds and primary amines. An unusual monanionic macrocyclic ligand was produced (2) when formaldehyde was condensed with the hydrazine (XCIII) instead of a primary amine in the presence of Ni(II) salts, and complexes XCIV have been characterized.
