Abstract
Designed synthesis for some transition metal clusters involving bridging-sulfido ligands is reviewed. The basic concept with the use of reactive fragments as building blocks is described. It is shown that the sulfido ligands with lone-pair electrons and the unsaturated coordination sites play important roles in this rational synthesis. The relationship between the metallic coordination types of the sulfido ligands and their assembling activity in the compounds is summarized. Examples of the six kinds of “unit construction” with reactive fragments as building blocks are shown, indicating clearly that the “unit construction” is a reasonable way in the synthesis of transition metal clusters involving bridging sulfido ligands. Finally, the potential application of the “unit construction” schemes in the synthesis of transition metal clusters involving other bridging ligands is presented.
