T. Yonemura et al., DOUBLE SULFUR TRANS INFLUENCE IN THE DITHIOLATO COMPLEX - TRANS(S)-[CO(AET)2(EN)]CLO4 (AET = 2-AMINOETHANETHIOLATE), Chemistry Letters, (7), 1993, pp. 1123-1126
The title aliphatic thiolato complex, whose trans positions were occup
ied by two sulfur atoms, was newly prepared and its crystal structure
was determined by the X-ray diffraction study. The Co-S bond distances
in that complex are longer than the ordinary one. Reaction of the com
plex at 50-degrees-C in water gave cis(S)-[Co(aet)2(en)]+ and trinucle
ar complex, [Co{Co(aet)3}2]3+.
