Synthesis of Boron-Fused 1,4-Dithiin via Cobalt-Mediated Disulfuration of Alkyne at the o-Carborane-9,12-dithiolate Unit
摘要:
: We present the first synthesis and characterization of a series of boron-fused 1,4-dithiin compounds through the reactions of newly established boron-substituted 16e half-sandwich complex Cp*Co(9,12-S2C2B10H10) with alkynes. The generated C2S2B2 ring in these 1,4-dithiin species is a stable structural motif with electron-negative sulfur atoms, as evidenced by theoretical calculation and its solid-state self-assembly. Single-crystal X-ray analysis indicates that C-carb-H center dot center dot center dot S hydrogen bonding is involved in the self-assemblies of these compounds, which serves as a compatible interaction with stronger C-carb-H center dot center dot center dot pi, C-carb-H center dot center dot center dot O, or C-carb-H center dot center dot center dot F hydrogen bonding. All new compounds are characterized by NMR, mass spectroscopy, and X-ray structural analysis.

A new o-carborane-based boron-substituted trithiol has been prepared via direct attachment of sulfur atoms to the B8/B9/B12 vertexes of o-carborane. On the basis of the trithiolate ligand, both the neutral 51 cluster valence electron (CVE) and the cationic 50-CVE trimeric cobalt clusters have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Electrochemical observations demonstrate that the 51-CVE cluster is electron-overloaded and readily undergoes one-electron oxidation to yield the thermodynamically stable 50-CVE species.
