Abstract
Studies have been carried out on unique molecular non-rigidity of Cp *Rh III(PyS) 2 (PyS=pyridine-2-thiolato). One PyS ligand bonds to the rhodium ion in an S-monodentate mode (RhS(2)=2.3799(9) Å) while the other ligand chelates to the metal in an N,S-bidentate mode (RhS(1)=2.4380(9); RhN(1)=2.089(2) Å). Both PyS ligands possess a significant contribution from the thiol tautomer in the solid state. Even though the conformation and configuration of the molecule are still retained in solution, an unusual metal-mediated tautomeric non-rigidity for the PyS region is observed in the solution around room temperature.
