Metal–tetrathiolene chemistry: the first disulphur bridge in the novel di-iridium cluster (Ph3P)2(CO)2Br2Ir2(C10H4S4). X-Ray crystal structure
Abstract
The first di(µ-S)-bridge between two metal atoms has been observed in the tetrathionaphthalene (naptho[1,8-cd]dithiole-4,5-dithiolato) complex (Ph3P)2-(CO)2Br2Ir2(C10H4S4) and rationalized in terms of electronic effects which prevail over the steric constraints.
