The synthesis and characterization of homoleptic zinc(II), is found to be distorted tetrahedral. The zinc complex is chiral and has crystallized in two different crystalline cadmium(II), and mercury(II) thiolates derived from 4,4dimethyl-2-phenyloxazoline (1) are described. The disulfide modifications. The single crystal structures have been determined for both the crystalline modifications, a [Ox 2 S 2 (3), Ox = 2-(4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazolinyl)phenyl] is prepared by the oxidation of lithium arenethiolate OxS -Li + monoclinic modification (4a) and an orthorhombic one (4b).
The crystal structure of 4a shows that the complex is (2), and structurally characterized. The disulfide 3 is chiral and enantiomerically pure in the solid state. The thiolate "helically" chiral and enantiomerically pure whereas the crystal structure of 4b shows the modification to be racemic. derivatives, M[S(Ox)] 2 [M = Zn (4), or Cd (5)], are prepared in good yield by the metathesis reactions of MCl 2 with lithium
The spontaneous splitting of the racemates, which is responsible for the isolation of optically active compound, arenethiolate 2. The mercury complex 6 is synthesized by treating 3 with elemental mercury. The complexes are quite indicates that there should be some solubility differences between the racemates and pure enantiomers. 1 H-and 13 C-stable and highly soluble in common nonpolar organic solvents. X-ray diffraction results show that the zinc thiolate NMR measurements indicate that the complex 4 retains its "helical" structure in solution. 4 and cadmium thiolate 5 are monomeric in the solid state. The geometry around the metal ion in these two complexes chalcogenolates, we extended our approach to the thiolate [a]
