The dimolybdenum alkyne complex [Mo2(μ-R1CCR2)(CO)4Cp2] 1 (Cp = η-C5H5; R1 = R2 = CO2Me) reacted with the 1,3-dithiole-2-thiones SCS2C2R2 (R = CO2Me, SMe, or SCOPh) to afford the new compounds [Mo2(μ-S)(μ-SCR CRSCCR1CR2)Cp2] by a complicated process involving cleavage of the CS bond to give a μ-sulfido ligand, ring opening of the heterocycle and coupling with the alkyne to afford a hybrid thiolate-dimetalla-allyl ligand. One of these products (R = R1 = R2 = CO2Me) has been structurally characterised. The alkyne complexes 2 (R1 = R2 = CO2Et) and 3 (R1 = R2 = Ph) furnished analogous products on treatment with SCS2C2(CO2Me)2 whereas 4, the dimolybdenum complex of the unsymmetrical alkyne PhCCCO2Et, gave two regioisomers, both of which have also been structurally characterised. Related complexes [Mo2(μ-S)μ-S(CH2)nSCC(CO2Me)C(CO2Me)}Cp2] were formed from 1 and ethylene or propylene trithiocarbonate, SCS2(CH2)n (n = 2 or 3). In contrast, the reaction of 1 with acyclic dialkyl trithiocarbonates SC(SR)2 afforded complexes containing sulfido (μ-S), thiolate (μ-SR) and CSR units, but surprisingly the last of these occupies the central position in the dimetalla-allyl ligand rather than the terminus. The crystal structure of one of these compounds, [Mo2(μ-S)(μ-SMe)μ-C(CO2Me)C(SMe)C(CO2Me)}Cp2], has been determined. Based on these observations, a possible mechanism for the reaction is suggested.
二钼炔基配合物 [Mo2(μ-R1CCR2)(CO)4Cp2] 1 (Cp = η-C5H5; R1 = R2 = CO2Me) 与 1,3-二硫杂环戊烯-2-硫酮 SCS2C2R2 (R = CO2Me, SMe 或 SCOPh) 反应,经过复杂的反应过程,包括 CS 键断裂生成 μ-硫脲配体、杂环开环并与炔烃偶联,生成新的化合物 [Mo2(μ-S)(μ-SCR CRSCCR1CR2)Cp2]。其中一种产物 (R = R1 = R2 = CO2Me) 已被结构表征。炔基配合物 2 (R1 = R2 = CO2Et) 和 3 (R1 = R2 = Ph) 在处理后生成了类似产物,而 4,即不对称炔烃 PhCCCO2Et 的二钼配合物,生成两种区域异构体,这两种异构体也已被结构表征。相关配合物 [Mo2(μ-S)μ-S(CH2)nSCC(CO2Me)C(CO2Me)}Cp2] 是由 1 和乙烯或丙烯三硫代碳酸酯 SCS2(CH2)n (n = 2 或 3) 形成的。相反,1 与无环二烷基三硫代碳酸酯 SC(SR)2 的反应生成了含硫脲 (μ-S)、硫醇盐 (μ-SR) 和 CSR 单位的配合物,但令人惊讶的是,最后一个单位占据了二金属烯丙基配体的中心位置而不是末端。这些化合物中的一种,[Mo2(μ-S)(μ-SMe)μ-C(CO2Me)C(SMe)C(CO2Me)}Cp2],的晶体结构已被测定。基于这些观察结果,提出了该反应的可能机制。
