A convenient method for the conversion of [Sn3S4](2-) to [Sn3S3(mu(3)-0H)](-): Syntheses, structures and characterizations of (Bu4N)[Sn-3(mu(3)-OH)S-3(edt)(3)] center dot DMF and (Bu4N)[Sn-3(mu(3)-OH)S-3(edt)(3)] center dot H2O (edt=1,2-ethanedithiol

摘要

Two new trinuclear tin(IV) oxy-sulfide complexes, (Bu4N)[Sn-3(mu(3)-OH)S-3(edt)(3)]center dot DMF (1) and (Bu4N)[Sn-3(mu(3)-OH)S-3(edt)(3)]center dot H2O (2), which are the same salt with different solvates, were unexpectedly obtained by the reaction of (Bu4N)(2)[Sn3S4(edt)(3)] with CuCl2 (Or KCuI2) and Zn(phen)(SCN)(2) (or Cd(phen)(SCN)(2)), respectively. The two complexes have been characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction, IR, far-IR, Raman, H-1 NMR, ES-MS and element analysis. X-ray structure determinations reveal that complexes 1 and 2 possess the same incomplete cubane-like anion cluster of [Sn-3(mu(3)-OH)S-3(edt)(3)](-) (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
