Reaction systems with a constant 2:1 Na2edt:M(II,III) mole ratio (edt = ethane-1,2-dithiolate) have been shown to yield the following complexes, isolated as quaternary ammonium salts: [Ti(edt )3]2™ (1), [V2(edt)4]2" (2), [Cr(edt)2]2" (3), [Mn(edt)2]2' (4), [Mn2(edt)4]2-(5), [Fe2(edt)4]2" (6), [Co(edt)2]2" (7), [Co(edt)2]" (8), [Ni2(edt)3]2" (9), [Cu3(edt)3]3-(10), [Zn(edt)2]2" (11), and [Cd(edt)2]2" (12). The following compounds have been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (space group; crystal parameters; Z; unique data (/ > (2-3)[

The first systematic investigation of Mn-thiolate complexes is described. Anaerobic reaction of MnCl2 with 2.5 equiv of NaSPh in methanol affords [Mn4(SPh)10]1 2". The compound (Me4N)2[Mn4(SPh)10] crystallizes in triclinic space group PI with a = 13.184 (3) A, b = 23.743 (4) A, c = 12.930 (3) A, a = 91.63 (2)°, ß = 113.76 (1)°, y = 79.53 (2)°, and Z = 2. The structure was refined to R (Pw) = 4.5% (4.8%) with use of 5787 unique data (I > 3 (/)). The anion contains an adamantane-like 4(µ-8)6 cage composed of a nearly regular Mn4 tetrahedron and an irregularly distorted S6 octahedron and exhibits terminal and bridging Mn-S mean distances of 2.376 (7) and 2.46 (2) Á, respectively. Selected structural features are compared with those of five other 4(µ-8)6 cages. Anaerobic reaction of MnCl2 with 2 equiv of Na2(l,2-S2C2H4) in methanol forms extremely oxygen-sensitive [Mn(S2C2H4)2]2~. The compound (Me4N)2[Mn(S2C2H4)2]-MeCN crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2\/n with a = 9.833 (5) A, b = 17.325 (7) A, c = 13.819 (6) A, ß = 93.43 (2)°, and Z = 4. The structure was refined to R (Pw) = 4.4% (4.5%) with use of 1893 unique data (I > 3 (/)). The anion is tetrahedral with mean dimensions Mn-S = 2.432 (7) Á, chelate ring zS-Mn-S = 91.5°, and a 92.3°dihedral angle between MnS2 planes. Exposure of a solution of [Mn(S2C2H4)2]2~t o air results in the immediate formation of a dark green color and thereafter isolation of salts of [Mn2(S2C2H4)4]2'. (Et4N)2[Mn2(S2C2H4)4] crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2Jn with a = 12.039 (4) A, b = 10.699 (2) A, c = 15.012 (3) X, ß = 110.89 (2)°, and Z = 2. The structure was refined to R (R") = 4.4% (4.9%) with use of 2175 unique data (/ > 3 (/)). The centrosymmetric anion exhibits the lateral dimer structure in which bis chelate monomers are joined by two Mn-S bonds of length 2.632 (2) Á. The two Mn-Ss coordination units approach a trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement and are separated by a Mn-Mn distance of 3.596 (3) Á. [Mn2(S2C2H4)4]2™ is the first characterized Mn(III) thiolate. A compilation of the limited set of all known Mn-S bond distances is provided.[Mn(S2C2H4)2]2-and [Mn4(SPh)10]2" contain tetrahedral Mn(II) sites; [Mn(S2C2H4)2]2" remains tetrahedral and high spin in acetonitrile and DMF solutions. Magnetic and spectral properties of solutions prepared from [Mn2(S2C2H4)4]2ĩ ndicate that the dimer partially (acetonitrile) or completely (Me2SO, DMF) dissociates in solution to form monomeric [Mn(S2C2H4)2(solv)2]_. Cyclic voltammetry of these species are in accord with an E¡C¡ mechanism, in which the initial reduction product, [Mn(S2C2H4)2(solv)2]2~, rapidly and irreversibly converts to [Mn(S2C2H4)2]2~. This species is irreversibly oxidized to [Mn(S2C2H4)2(solv)2]~a t less cathodic potentials. The large £ values (0.52 V (acetonitrile), 0.76 V (DMF)) are consistent with different electroactive orbitals of [Mn(S2C2H4)2]2~a nd [Mn(S2C2H4)2(solv)2]~required by tetrahedral and six-coordinate structures, respectively. Spectral evidence is presented for Mn(III) species of the type [Mn(S2C2H...
