ChemInform Abstract
The hydrido complex (III) crystallizes as its hexafluorophosphate-bis-nitromethane solvate in the space group Cc with Z=4. Treatment of (III) with HNO3 under reflux affords (IV) (space group C2/c, Z=4), thus transforming the bidentate ligand to a tridentate one. The redox properties of this homoleptic thioether complex are discussed and compared to those of the rhodium analogue.
