A single carbon atom controls the geometry and reactivity of CoII(N2S2) complexes†
Abstract
Three- vs. two-carbon N-to-N connectors give rise to monomeric, tetrahedral N2S2Co(II) (μeff = 4.24 BM) or dimeric [(N2S2)Co(II)]2 (diamagnetic) complexes, respectively. Differences in the derivative products of the Lewis acid receivers, W0(CO)3 and W0(CO)4, illustrate nucleophilicity of the thiolate sulfur lone pairs in each case, as well as their structural control.
