Tetranuclear organometallic complexes based on 1,2-ethanedithiolate ligands as potential precursors for CuMS2 (M = Ga, In)†
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a series of homologous tetranuclear complexes [(iPr3PCu)2(MR2)2(SCH2CH2S)2] (MR2 = GaMe2 (2), GaEt2 (3), GaiPr2 (4), GanBu2 (5) and InMe2 (6), InEt2 (7), IniPr2 (8), InnBu2 (9)) and of related compounds [(iPr3PCu)3(MR2)(SCH2CH2S)2] (MR2 = GaMe2 (10), GaEt2 (11), GaiPr2 (12), GanBu2 (13) and InMe2 (14), InEt2 (15), IniPr2 (16), InnBu2 (17)) are presented. The molecular structures of these were determined by
