Abstract

Syntheses of neutral 'buS2'-, 'S4'- and 'buS4'- and of anionic .buS2-complexes with various main group and transition metals are described. The complexes were prepared by reacting the neutral sulfur ligands or their alkali salts with the metal halide or alkoxide. The ligands coordinate to metal ions in normal as well as high oxidation states. No redox reactions occur in the latter case. The complexes are usually soluble in organic solvents and were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic means.
