A V(III) thiolate complex activated C-Cl bond in dichloromethane via S-based nucleophilic attack. The reaction products, a V(III)-Cl species (major one) and a V(IV) binding to a CH(2) containing ligand (minor one) were obtained. The work demonstrates sulfur donors in the early-transition metal thiolates having strong nucleophilic characteristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
