Two oxazolone-derived potential ligands with enethioether substituents have been synthesized that differ by the terminal thioether moiety (S-Et in L-1, S-C6H4(OMe)-2 in L-2). Both L-1 and L-2 behave as bidentate NS} chelate ligands to form stable complexes with copper(I) triflate that crystallize as dimeric complexes [L2Cu2(OTf)(2)] (4 and 5) featuring a central Cu2S2} diamond core with distinctly different Cu-S bonds. L-1 as well as 4 and 5 have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. NMR spectroscopy including H-1 and F-19 DOSY experiments reveals that 4 and 5 dissociate into monomeric species [LCu(OTf)] (40 and 5') in CDCl3 solutions. 4' and 5' retain the NS} binding motif of the oxazolone-derived ligands, but are in slow equilibrium with their OS} isomers 4 '' and 5 '' that result from E/Z isomerization of the exocyclic enethioether double bond.
