In this Dalton Transactions Hot Article, Tristram Chivers and colleagues from the University of Calgary have reported several new thallium and indium complexes of multidentate chalcogen-centred PCP-bridged ligands.
The binuclear mixed-valent Tl(I)/Tl(III) complex with ligand [(Se)C(PPh2Se)2]2- exhibits a one-dimensional polymeric structure while in the polycyclic Tl(I)/Tl(I) complexes with [(SPh2P)2CE′E′C(PPh2S)2]2- (E′ = S, SE) the dimeric ligands remain intact.
Three heteroleptic In complexes were obtained by reaction of InCl3 with [Li(TMEDA)][HC(PPh2Se)2], [Li(TMEDA)]2[(E′)C(PPh2E)2] or [Li(TMEDA)]2[(E′)C(PPh2E)2] (E = S, E′ = S, SE).
