Complexes of late transition metals containing the mixed donor ligands 2,6-(RSCH2)2C5H3N (R = Ph, Me): Crystal structures of [{Cu(2,6-(PhSCH2)2C5H3N)(μ-X)}2] (X = Cl, Br) and [Ni(2,6-(PhSCH2)2C5H3N)Br2]
2001
A range of NiX2 and CuX (X = halide) complexes containing the tridentate NS2 ligands 2,6-bis(methylthiomethyl)pyridine (L1) and 2,6-bis(phenylthiomethyl)pyridine (L2) were prepared. Reaction of CuX with 1 molar equivalent of L1 or L2 afforded the binuclear species [{CuL(μ-X)}2] (L =
L1, X = Cl; L =
L2, X = Cl, Br, I). These compounds have been characterised by IR and 1H NMR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry and microanalysis. Crystal structure determinations of [{CuL2(μ-X)}2] (X = Cl, Br) confirm the dimeric nature of these complexes through bridging halide centres, with the NS2 ligands coordinated through their pyridyl nitrogens and one of the sulfur atoms in a bidentate manner. Reaction of NiX2 with 1 molar equivalent of L1 or L2 afforded mononuclear species for [NiLX2] (L =
L1, X = I; L =
L2, X = Br, I) and binuclear species for [NiLX2]2 (L =
L1, X = Cl, Br; L =
L2, X = Cl). These compounds have limited solubility and were characterised through IR and UV-Vis reflectance spectroscopies and microanalysis. The crystal structure determination of [NiL2Br2] confirms the compound to be monomeric with a five-coordinate, square pyramidal nickel centre.
