Notes:
The cationic tetracarbonyl complex cis-[Mn(CO)4-(S2CPCy3)]+ undergoes addition of hydride ion to the central carbon of the S2CPR3 ligand to afford, after spontaneous dimerization with loss of CO, the dimer [Mn2(CO)6{μ-S2C(H)PCy3}2] (5a), which was characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods as well as by X-ray diffraction. In the molecule of 5a each S2C(H)PCy3- ligand is coordinated to one manganese in an η2-S,S′ chelate fashion, and one sulfur of each ligand serves as a bridge to bind the other manganese atom, thus forming a distorted Mn2S2 square. This appears to be a very stable arrangement. Compound 5a can be more easily prepared by treating the perchlorato complex [Mn(CO)3(S2CPCy3)(OClO3)] (2a) with NaBH4. This procedure is general and can be used for the preparation of several derivatives containing either manganese or rhenium [M2(CO)6{μ-S2C(H)PR3}2] 5a-d. The reaction of cationic tricarbonyl complexes [M(CO)3(S2CPR3)(PPh3)]PF6 (M = Mn, Re) with NaBH4 produced the same dimers 5a or 5c by displacement of the PPh3 ligand. Treatment of the dimer 5a with excess PEt3 or P(OMe)3 leads to the cleavage of the bridges and loss of one CO and the PR3 group from the S2C(H)PR3 unit to afford ultimately the dithioformate complexes [Mn(CO)2(S2CH)(L)2] [L = PEt3, P(OMe)3].
