Thermolysis of
[Mo(η2-S2)(NPh)(S2CNEt2
)2] with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate afforded the
crystallographically characterised 1-thio-2-iminoene complex
[Mo{η2-PhNC(R)C(R)S}{η1
,η3-SC(R)
C(R)C(NEt2)S}(S
2CNEt2)] (R = CO2Me),
resulting from alkyne addition across sulfido and phenylimido moieties
and further insertion of alkyne into the sulfur–carbon bond of a
dithiocarbamate ligand.
