Ligand and induced internal electron transfer pathways to new Mo–S and W–S dithiocarbamate complexes
Abstract
Addition of tetra-alkylthiuram disulphides [R2NC(S)S–SC(S)NR2] to MOVIS42–, WVIS42– and MOVIO2S22–yields the new complexes MoV(S2)(S2CNR2)3 and WVIS(S2)(S2CNR2)2 and the known complex MoVIO(S2)(S2CNR2)2, respectively, revealing redox behaviour involving induced internal electron transfer and lignad electron transfer processes.
