Double sulfur–carbon bond cleavage of a dithiocarbamate ligand at a molybdenum(VI) centre; synthesis and X-ray structure of the disulfur complex [Mo(NPh)(S2)(edtc)2](edtc = S2CNEt2)
Abstract
Reaction of 1 equiv. of PhNCO with [MoO2(edtc)2] leads to the isolation of [Mo(NPh)(S2)(edtc)2] formed as a result of oxo substitution and a double sulfur-carbon bond cleavage of the dithiocarbamate; a second product is dimeric [MoO(edtc)(µ-NPh)]2.
