DESULFURIZATION AND C-C COUPLING IN THE REACTION OF THE ANIONS [MNM(CO)6(MU-H)(MU-S2CPCY3)]-(M=MN,RE) WITH CARBON-DISULFIDE - X-RAY STRUCTURE OF [LI(THF)3][MN2(CO)6(MU-H)(MU-S(S)C=C(PCY3)S)]

The anions [MnM(CO)6(mu-H)(mu-S2CPCY3)]-(M = Mn, Re) react with CS2 to
afford the new anionic species [MnM(CO)6(mu-H){mu-S(S)C=C(PCY3)S}]-,
containing the new (tricyclohexylphosphonio)ethenetrithiolate ligand S
(S)C=C(PCY3)S. This results from a complex pathway which involves form
ally the desulfurization Of CS2 and the insertion of CS into a C-S bon
d of the S2CPCy3 ligand on the parent anion, with formation of a carbo
n-carbon double bond.
