Abstract Bis(triorganometal) 1,2-dithiolates (R3M)2S2R′ [(HS)2R′ = C7H8S2 for toluene-dithiol-3,4 (H2TDT); M = Sn, Pb; R = Ph; or (HS)2R′ = C10H14S2 for 1,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(mercaptomethyl)benzene (H2DBB); M = Sn, R = CH3, C6H5; M = Pb, R = C6H5], diorganometal 1,2-dithiolates R2MS2R′ [(HS)2R′ = C6H6S2 for 1,2-dimercaptobenzene (H2DMB); M = Pb, R = CH3, C2H5, C6H5; or (HS)2R′ = H2TDT; M = Sn, R = CH3, C6H5; M = Pb, R = C6H5; or (HS)2R′ = H2DBB; M = Sn, R = CH3, C6H5; M = Pb, R = CH3, C2H2, C6H5; or (HS)2R′ = C8H6N2S2 for 2,3-dimercaptoquinoxaline (H2QDT); M = Pb, R = C6H5] and some lead(IV) and lead(II) dithiolates Pb(S2R′)n [(HS)2R′ = H2DMB, n = 2; (HS)2R′ = H2TDT, n = 2; (HS)2R′ = H2DBB, n = 1 or 2] have been prepared. Vibrational, 1H NMR, and Mossbauer spectroscopic data are consistent with pentacoordination of tin in R2SnTDT and with tetracoordination of tin in R2SnS2R′ and (R3Sn)2S2R′ in the solid state. The soluble compounds are monomeric in solution. Coupling constants for the methyltin compounds indicate tetracoordination in solution.
