Crown thioether chemistry. Synthesis and structure of bis(1,4,7-trithiacyclononane)ruthenium bis(trifluoromethanesulphonate), the first homoleptic thioether complex of ruthenium
Abstract
1,4,7-Trithiacyclononane (9S3) reacts with ruthenium(III) tris(trifluoromethanesulphonate) to yield [Ru(9S3)2](CF3SO3)2, the first reported homoleptic thioether complex of ruthenium(II).
