Activation of SO2 by [Zn(Cp*)2] and [(Cp*)ZnI–ZnI(Cp*)]

Abstract

Interesting reactivity was observed in reactions of SO2 with [Zn(Cp*)2] and [(Cp*)ZnI–ZnI(Cp*)]. These reactions proceeded with insertion of SO2 into the Zn–C bonds. Spectacularly, the lability of the C–S bond in the O2SCp* ligands led to the thermal decomposition of [Zn(O2SCp*)2(tmeda)] to afford [Zn2(μ-SO3)(μ-S2O4)(tmeda)2].
