Abstract

An expanded set of compounds of the type [W(S2C2Me2)2L1L2]n (n = 0: L1 = L2 = CO, 1; L1 = L2 = CNtBu, 2; L1 = CO, L2 = carbene, 3; L1 = CO, L2 = phosphine, 4; L1 = L2 = phosphine, 5. n = 2−: L1 = L2 = CN−, [6]2−) has been synthesized and characterized. Despite isoelectronic formulations, the compound set reveals gradations in dithiolene ligand redox level as revealed by intraligand bond lengths, υCCchelate, and rising edge energies in the sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption spectra (XAS). Differences between the terminal series members, 1 and [6]2−, are comparable to differences seen in homoleptic dithiolene complexes related by full electron transfer to/from a dithiolene-based MO.
