| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT We synthesized and characterized a new S4-based zinc complex with thione [TtixylZnSTmxyl] 2 as sulfur-donor ligand. Structural determination by X-ray diffraction indicated that the coordination geometry around zinc atom is close to regular tetrahedral with S─Zn(1)─S bond angles in the range 106-113o. The reactivity studies showed that complex 2 is much less susceptible to methylation than that of complex [TtixylZnSC6H5] 1, which contains thiolate as sulfur-donor ligand. This decrease in the nucleophilicity could be explained by electronic effects of thione versus thiolate. | ||
