Kinetics and mechanism of substitution reactions of tungsten carbonyl complexes containing bidentate sulfur ligands (open access)

Kinetics and mechanism of substitution reactions of tungsten carbonyl complexes containing bidentate sulfur ligands

Previous investigation of the kinetics and mechanism of the substitution reaction of bidentate substituted transition metal carbonyl complexes with Lewis bases (L') to yield the cis distributed bidentate substitution product, where M=Cr, Mo, or W and S-S = DTO (2,2,7,7-tetra-methyl-3, 6-dithiaoctane) or DTN (2,2,8,8-tetramethyl-3,7-dithianonane) have suggested that this reaction proceeds via a mechanism involving initial reversible dissociation of one end of the bidentate sulfur ligand followed by rapid attack of L' on the resulting five-coordinate intermediate.
