Complexes of organometallic compounds

Abstract Novel complexes RClSntrid, where R is Me, Ph, n-Oct, and trid 2− are dianions of tridentate “planar” ligands with ONO and SNO donor atoms, were synthesized and investigated in the solid state by infrared and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Possible configurations are discussed; polymeric trigonal bipyramidal structures seem to occur, although five-coordinated monomers as well as octahedral dimers (via oxygen or sulfur bridges) are not excluded.
