Abstract:
The title compound, bis-(1,2-diphenyl-2-sulfanyl-idene-ethane-thiol-ato-κ2 S,S')(1,3,5-tri-aza-7-phosphaadamantane-κP)cobalt(II) dichloromethane hemisolvate, [Co(pdt)2(PTA)]·0.5C2H4Cl2 or [Co(C14H10S2)2(C6H12N3P)]·0.5C2H4Cl2, contains two phenyl-dithiol-ene (pdt) ligands and a 1,3,5-tri-aza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) ligand bound to cobalt with the solvent 1,2-di-chloro-ethane mol-ecule located on an inversion center. The cobalt core exhibits an approximately square-pyramidal geometry with partially reduced thienyl radical monoanionic ligands. The supra-molecular network is consolidated by hydrogen-bonding inter-actions primarily with nitro-gen, sulfur and chlorine atoms, as well as parallel displaced π-stacking of the aryl rings. The UV-vis, IR, and CV data are also consistent with monoanionic di-thiol-ene ligands and an overall CoII oxidation state.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
