Abstract

Some compounds of the alkaline-earth metals, which result from the insertion of COS into metal–ethoxide bonds, have been synthesized and characterised. The crystal structure of the first linear trinuclear metal strontium complex [Sr3(OCSOEt)6(EtOH)8] 2, which resulted from the reaction of [{Sr(OEt)2(EtOH)4}n] with COS gas, has been determined. The octahedral monomer [Mg(OCSOEt)2(EtOH)4] 1 resulted from the insertion of a molecule of COS into the ethoxide bonds of [{Mg(OEt)2(EtOH)4}n]. The structures demonstrate three alternative co-ordination modes of the OCS(OR)- ligand.
