Abstract
The new tridentate thioether ligand MeSi(CH2SPh)(3) has been prepared in go od yield and its first transition metal derivative, the octahedral chromium tricarbonyl complex {eta(3)-MeSi(CH2SPh)(3)}Cr(CO)(3), has been synthesize d and fully characterized. in agreement with the reduced basicity of arylth ioethers and the expected lability of their metal complexes, the new comple x exhibits the longest Cr(0)-S(thioether) bond distances observed to date.
