Structure and reactivity of thiocarbonyl complexes

Abstract

This study was undertaken to investigate the synthesis, reactivity and structural aspects of new chromium(O) thiocarbonyl complexes. The preparation of ,r -arene thiocarbonyl chromium (0) complexes and the subsequent synthesis and X-ray structure analysis of the end-to-end 6 bridged (n -c 6 H 5 Me) (Co) 2 CrCSCr(C0) 5 complex is discussed. Furthermore the reactivity of 'IT-arene thiocarbonyl chromium(O) and pentacarbonyl thiocarbonyl chromium(O) with regard to substitution reactions, and modification of the thiocarbonyl ligand was investigated
