The reactions of sulfenyl chloride derivatives of rhodium and ruthenium acetylacetonates as well as of chromium(III) and cobalt(III) β-diketonates (with β-phenyl groups) have been studied. The studied complexes can participate in the substitution and addition reactions. As compared with the previously studied sulfenyl chlorides of acetylacetonate complexes, many side processes occur in the case of β-phenyl chelates; they decrease the products yield and complicate their purification. In the case of dibenzoylmethenate complexes, reduction reactions can easily occur, giving the partially substituted chelates impurity.
