One-Dimensional Copper(I) Coordination Polymers Based on a Tridentate Thioether Ligand.

The one-dimensional copper(I) coordination polymers Cu(3){MeSi(CH(2)SMe)(3)}(2)X(3) (X = Cl, Br) and [{MeSi(CH(2)SMe)(3)}Cu(NCMe)]Y (Y = OSO(2)CF(3), BF(4), PF(6)) were readily obtained in very good to excellent yields (80-95%) by reacting CuX or [Cu(NCMe)(4)]Y, respectively, with the tridentate thioether ligand MeSi(CH(2)SMe)(3) in acetonitrile. The new complexes were characterized by a combination of analytical and spectroscopic techniques, including electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and, for the bromo and hexafluorophosphate derivatives, single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both complexes exhibit one-dimensional chain structures with approximately tetrahedral copper centers and bridging unidentate/bidentate thioether ligands.

Tris[(alkylthio)methyl]silanes: Syntheses and Structures of Chromium, Molybdenum, and Tungsten Complexes with a Tripodal Thioether Ligand.

The first member of a new family of tripodal thioether ligands, the methyltris[(alkylthio)methyl]silanes MeSi(CH(2)SR)(3) (R = Me), has been synthesized and characterized. Reactivity studies lead to the isolation of the complete series of group 6 metal carbonyl derivatives {eta(3)-MeSi(CH(2)SMe)(3)}M(CO)(3) (M = Cr, Mo, W), whose structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The three complexes are isomorphous and display distorted octahedral structures with face-capping tridentate thioether ligands. {eta(3)-MeSi(CH(2)SMe)(3)}Cr(CO)(3) is monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 8.1658(2) Å, b = 15.0563(2) Å, c = 26.5791(3) Å, beta = 90.3653(6) degrees, V = 3267.74(8) Å(3), Z = 8. {eta(3)-MeSi(CH(2)SMe)(3)}Mo(CO)(3) is monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 8.34630(6) Å, b = 15.2747(2) Å, c = 27.1865(4) Å, beta = 90.8987(9) degrees, V = 3465.44(10) Å(3), Z = 8. {eta(3)-MeSi(CH(2)SMe)(3)}W(CO)(3) is monoclinic, P2(1)/c, a = 8.1582(2) Å, b = 14.9903(2) Å, c = 26.7268(4) Å, beta = 90.6568(8) degrees, V = 3268.30(9) Å(3), Z = 8.
