The direct electrochemical synthesis and crystal structure of salts of [M4(SC6H5)10]2− anions (M = Zn, Cd)

Sulfur K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy of homoleptic thiolato complexes with Zn(II) and Cd(II)

“…For example, the structures of [(l-SPh) 6 (MSPh) 4 ] 2À (M = Mn(II), Fe(II), and Co(II)) have been determined [32][33][34][35][36]. For Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions, the structures of [(l-SPh) 6 (MSPh) 4 ] 2À type complexes have been studied well as good structural models of metallothionein [37][38][39], including [M 4 (o-SC 6 H 4 CH 3 ) 10 ] 2À (M = Zn(II) and Cd(II)) [40], and [Zn 4 (SePh) 10 ] 2À [41]. [(l-SR) 6 (MX) 4 ] type complexes were reported from a structural viewpoint.…”

“…This is due to the differences of using ligands between alkyl and aromatic frameworks. From these differences, the corresponding cluster such as [Zn 4 (ScHex) 10 ] 2À could not be synthesized by any experimental conditions [37][38][39]. Each Cd(II) center is a distorted tetrahedral CdS 4 .…”

The direct electrochemical synthesis of thiolato complexes of copper, silver, and gold; the molecular structure of [Cu(SC6H4CH3-o)(1,10-phenanthroline)]2•CH3CN

“…One is the dimeric ( c~s P h . 2 P P h~)~ (14), or (Ph3P)2C~(pSPh)2Cu(Ph3P)2 (2), and the other is ( C U S P~. P P~~)~ (12), or (p3-SPh)2(p-SPh)2C~4.…”

“…The metals successfully used in such experiments include zinc (1, 2), cadmium (1, 2), mercury (2), tin (3), lead (3), gallium (4), indium (4), thallium (4), nickel (4), and cobalt (4), to produce the neutral M(SR),, compounds, their adducts, or anionic complexes. We now report the use of these simple experimental techniques in the synthesis of thiolato derivatives of copper(I), silver(I), and gold(I), and a number of neutral adducts with the bidentate ligand 1,lO-phenanthroline.…”

The direct electrochemical synthesis of phenylselenolato complexes of some main group and late transition elements

“…A number of papers from this laboratory have described the synthesis of M(SR), compounds by the electrochemical oxidation of a sacrificial anode in a non-aqueous solution of either a thiol or a disulphide (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)). The present paper shows that these techniques can be extended to the one-step high yield synthesis of phenylselenolato complexes M(SePh),, , and in some cases, their adducts with neutral donor ligands.…”
