Abstract
Full title: Synthesis and reactions with alkynes of complexes containing both phosphorus and sulfur bridging ligands: Crystal and molecular structures of [Mn2(μ-PPh2)(μ-SPh)(CO)8], [Co3(μ3-S)(μ-PPh2)(CO) 6(PPh3)] and [Co3(μ3-S)(μ-PPh2CHCPh)(CO) 6(PPh3)]. The metal carbonyls [Mn2(CO)10] and [Co2(CO)8] react with the ligand PPh2(SPh) to give respectively the binuclear complex [Mn2(μ-PPh2)(μ-SPh)(CO)8] 2 and a combination of trinuclear complexes [Co3(μ3-S)-(μ-PPh2)(CO)7] 3, [Co3(μ3-S)(μ-PPh2)(CO) 6(PPh3)] 4 and [Co3(μ3-S)(μ-PPh2)(CO) 5(PPh3)2] 5 in a yield ratio which depends on the reaction conditions. Complex 4 reacts thermally with PhC≡CH which inserts regiospecifically into the phosphido-bridge to generate [Co3(μ3-S)(μ-PPh2CHCPh)(CO) 6(PPh3)] 6. A similar regiospecific insertion of alkyne to give the complex [Fe2{μ-PPh2CHC(CH2OH)}(μ-SPh)-(CO) 6] 7 takes place when [Fe2(μ-PPh2)(μ-SPh)(CO)6] 1 is treated with HOCH2C≡CH under photolytic conditions. In contrast neither thermal nor photolytic reactions of 2 with alkynes could be induced. The crystal structures of 2, 4 and 6 have been determined.
