The coordinative addition of dimethyl sulfide to (C5H5)(2)Rh-2(mu-CO)(
mu-CF3C2CF3) is followed by an intramolecular transformation to give (
C5H5)(2)Rh-2(mu-SCH(2)Me){mu-C(CF3)CH(CF3)}, and the corresponding rea
ction with Et(2)S gives a related complex with a chiral bridging sulfi
de group SCHMeEt.
