3-disubstituted functional cym an trene thioethers [C5Cl3(SM e)R]M n(CO )3 (R = SiM e3 (2), COOLi (3a), PPh2 (4)). 3 a can be protonated to give the corresponding carboxylic acid (3 b), which in turn can be transformed to the acid chloride [C5Cl3(SM e)(COCl)]M n(CO)3 (3c). 3c reacts with N a N 3 to yield after work-up the urea derivative O C [[N H -C 5Cl3(SM e)]M n(CO)3]2 (3d). U sing the cymantrene bisthioethers [C5Cl3(SR )2]M n(CO)3 (R = Me, 5a, Ph, 5b) as starting materials, the carboxyl de rivatives [C5Cl2(SM e)2(COR)]M n(CO)3 (R = OLi, 6a, OH, 6b, Cl, 6 c) and the potential organometallic S,P-chelate ligands [C5Cl2(SR)2(PPh2)]M n(CO)3 (R = Me
