Thiolate complexes overview

Within this overview of copper(I), lithium, and magnesium thiolate complexes, one of the aims is to highlight the influence that (intramolecular) nitrogen coordination exerts on the structure of such species, since intermolecular (auxiliary) coordination of heteroatoms often leads to poorly defined species. An example of this poor species definition is the reaction behavior of polymeric copper(I) thiophenolate, [Cu(SPh)]. with triphenylphosphine Several P-coordinated aggregates with variable stoichiometry were reported (Scheme 1) (27-29). This behavior makes it difficult to study one specific species in cop-per(I) thiolate catalyzed organic reactions since equilibria are likely to occur.
