Structural chemistry of complexes of ( ? 1)d s metal ions with ?-N-donor substituted thiolate ligands (=0, 2)

2005

Abstract The molecular structures of several d 10 metal ion complexes with 2-amino or 2-imino substituted thiolate ligands, derived from 2-aminoethanethiol, 2-(mercaptomethyl)pyridine, 2-aminobenzenethiole, and 8-mercaptoquinoline, are presented. Since ligand field stabilization energy is absent, the complexes display a large variety of co-ordination numbers and geometries around the metal centers. Distortions from ideal tetrahedral or trigonal bipyramidal configurations are discussed in terms of special structural parameters. In contrast to thiolate ligands that lack additional donor atoms and thus form oligo- or poly-nuclear complexes, the β-N donor group stabilizes mono-nuclear complexes…
