Bronze, silver and gold: functionalized group 11 organotin sulfide clusters†
Abstract
The synthesis, properties and reactivity of group 11 organotin sulfide clusters [(R1Sn)4(SnCl)2(MPPh3)2S8] (M = Cu, Ag), [(R3Sn)10Ag10S20], and [(R1,3Sn)2(AuPPh3)2S4] with covalently bound, carbonyl or hydrazine-terminated ligands R1 = CMe2CH2C(Me)O or R3 = CMe2CH2C(Me)NNH2 are reported.
