Abstract
Abstract Reaction of 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol and its 1-methoxy and 1-ethoxy derivatives, HSCH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 OR′(R′= H, CH 3 , C 2 H 5 ) [RSH, R = CH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 OR′], with [M(PPh 3 ) 3 X] [M = Co I , Cu I ; X = Cl or Ag I ; X = NO 3 ] in tetrahydrofuran yield bridged dimeric species, [M(PPh 3 ) 2 RS] 2 [R = CH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 OR′; M = Co I ( 1 ), Cu I ( 2 ), Ag I ( 3 ); 1a, 2a, 3a and 1b, 2b, 3b for R′ = H, CH 3 and C 2 H 5 , respectively]. The complexes corresponding to Co I and Cu I are also prepared by reaction with [M(PPh 3 ) 2 Cl 2 ] under similar reaction conditions, [M(PPh 3 ) 2 RS] 2 [M = Co ( 1′ ), Cu ( 2′ ); 1a′ , 2a′ and 1b′ , 2b′ for R = H, CH 3 , C 2 H 5 , respectively], where the metal ions reduce to their corresponding monovalent states.
