The formation of sulfur macrocycles containing dialkyne units
Abstract
Treatment of the dialkyne complex
[{Co2(CO)6}2{μ-η
2∶μ-η2-HOCH2CCC
CCH2OH}] with
HBF4·OEt2 at −78 °C and the
subsequent addition of [HS(CH2)2]2X (X = S
or O) affords the novel macrocyclic complexes
[{Co2(CO)5}{Co2(CO)6
}{(μ-η2-C
CCH2SCH
2CH2)2S}] 1a,
[{Co2(CO)6}2{(μ-η
2-C
CCH2SCH2CH2)2
O }] 2a and
[{Co2(CO)6}2{(μ-η
2-C
CCH2SCH2CH2)2
X}]2 [X = S 1b or O 2b].
