Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The complexes [Cu(Bm(Me))](3) center dot 0.77C(4)H(8)O (1), [(Bm(Me)) Ag(PPh3)] (2) and [M{kappa(3)-H(mu-H)B(tiaz)(2)}(PPh3)] (M= Cu (3), Ag (4); BmMe = bis(2-mercapto-1-methylimidazolyl)borate, H2B(tiaz)(2) = dihydrobis( 2-mercaptothiazolyl) borate) have been prepared and characterised by X-ray crystallographic and spectroscopic methods. The presence of M center dot center dot center dot H-B interactions in these species has been investigated using infrared spectroscopy and crystallography. In [Cu( Bm(Me))](3), the triangular array of three trigonal-planar copper atoms is coordinated by three chelating and bridging (Bm(Me))(-) ligands, and has an unusual, highly unsymmetrical arrangement with one short Cu-Cu distance; this is the first structurally authenticated Bm(Me) complex with a nuclearity greater than two. In complexes 2-4, the metal atom is found in a distorted trigonal-planar geometry, bound by a terminal phosphine ligand and two sulfur atoms of a chelating ligand, supplemented by an M center dot center dot center dot H-B interaction, which appears to be a common feature in the coordination chemistry of the (Bm(Me))(-) and [H2B(tiaz)(2)](-) ligands; compounds 1 - 4 are the first reported complexes of copper( I) and silver( I) with any bis(2-mercaptoimidazolyl) borate ligand or with H2B(tiaz)(2).
