M. Tesmer et H. Vahrenkamp, Sterically fixed dithiolate ligands and their zinc complexes: Derivatives of 1,8-dimercaptonaphthalene, EUR J INORG, (5), 2001, pp. 1183-1188
The synthesis of two new dithiols, 1,8-dimercapto-2,7-di(tert-butyl)naphtha
lene (H2L1) and 1,8-dimercaptonaphthoic anhydride (H2L2), is described. The
y react with diethylzinc to yield the polymeric complexes (LZn)-Zn-1 and (L
Zn)-Zn-2. (LZn)-Zn-1 dissolves in the presence of pyridine to form [(LZn)-Z
n-1 . py](x), which is presumed to be dimeric. Both (LZn)-Zn-1 and (LZn)-Zn
-2 react with neocuproin. Structure determinations have confirmed the tetra
hedral ZnN2S2 coordination in the resulting LZn . neo complexes.
