Open-Ended Metallodithiolene Complexes with the 1,2,4,5-Tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)benzene Ligand: Modular Building Elements for the Synthesis of Multimetal Complexes.

ABSTRACT: Open-ended, singly metalated dithiolene complexes with 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (tpbz) are prepared either by ligand transfer to [Cl₂M(tpbz)] from (R₂C₂S₂)SnR'₂ (R = CN, R' = Me; R = Me, R' = ⁿBu) or by a direct reaction between tpbz and [M(S₂C₂R₂)₂] (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; R = Ph, p-anisyl) in a 1:1 ratio. The formation of dimetallic [(R₂C₂S₂)M(tpbz)M(S₂C₂R₂)] attends these syntheses in modest amounts, but the open-ended compounds are readily separated by silica chromatography. As affirmed by X-ray crystallographic characterization of numerous members of the set, the [(R₂C_2</
