Abstract
Dipole moments have been determined by static polarization measurements for some iron(111), ruthenium(111), rhodium(111), nickel(11), palladium(11), platinum(11), copper(11) and zinc(11) complexes of fluorinated monothio-β-diketones RC(SH)=CHCOCF3. The moments indicate a facial-octahedral configuration for the iron, ruthenium and rhodium complexes, a cis-square-planar configuration for the nickel, palladium and platinum complexes, and a tetrahedral configuration for the zinc complexes. The copper complexes have moments 0.5-1.0 D lower than the mean value for the corresponding nickel, palladium and platinum complexes; this lowering of the moment is attributed to significant distortion from the square-planar towards the tetrahedral configuration. The dipole moments of the square-planar and octahedral complexes decrease if the R groups are arranged in the order: p-MeC6H4 ≥ 2-thienyl > β-naphthyl > m-MeC6H4 > Ph > Pr? > Bui > Me > m-ClC6H4 > m-BrC6H4 > p-FC6H4 > p-ClC6H4 > p-BrC6H4 > m,p-Cl2C6H3.
