Transition metal thioether complexes comprise coordination complexes of thioether (R2S) ligands. The inventory is extensive.

Dimethylsulfide complexes

As the simplest thioether, dimethylsulfide forms complexes that are illustrative of the class.[1] Well characterized derivatives include cis-[TiCl4L2], VCl3L2, NbCl5L, NbCl4L2, Cr(CO)5L, CrCl3L3, RuCl2L4, RuCl3L3, RhCl3L3, cis- and trans-[IrCl4L3]-, cis-MCl2L2 (M = Pd, Pt), [PtCl3L]-, cis- and trans-[PtCl4L2] (L = SMe2). With respect to donor properties, dimethylsulfide is a soft ligand with donor properties weaker than phosphine ligands.[2]

Stereochemistry

Thioether complexes feature pyramidal sulfur centers. Typical C-S-C angles are near 99° in both free thioethers and their complexes. The C-S distance in dimethylsulfide is 1.81 Å, which is also unaffected in its complexes.[4]

Diastereotopic methylene protons in complexes of diethylsulfide.

The stereochemistry of thioether complexes have been extensively studied.[5] Unsymmetrical thioethers, e.g., SMeEt, are prochiral ligands, and their complexes are chiral. One example is [Ru(NH3)5(SMeEt)]2+. The complex cis-VOCl2(SMeEt)2 exists as meso- and a pair of enantiomers.[6] In complexes of thioethers of the type S(CH2R)2 (R ≠ H), the methylene protons are diastereotopic. Examination of the NMR spectra of such complexes reveal that they undergo inversion at sulfur, without dissociation of the M-S bond.[7]

Thioether as a bridging ligand

Unlike ethers, thioethers occasionally serve as bridging ligands. The complexes Nb2Cl6(SMe2)3 is one such example. It adopts a face-sharing bioctahedral structure with a Nb(III)=Nb(III) bond, spanned by two chloride and one dimethylsulfide ligands.[8] The complex Pt2Me4(SMe2)2 is a source of "PtMe2".[9] Geoffrey S.

Complexes thiacrown ligands

The tridentate tri-thioether 9-ane-S3 forms extensive families of complexes of the type M(9-ane-S3)L3 and [M(9-ane-S3)2]2+. Examples of Cu(II)-thioether complexes were prepared from 14-ane-S4[10] and 15-ane-S5.[11] The hexadentate ligand 18-ane-6 also forms extensive family of complexes, including unsual examples of Pd(III) and Ag(II).[12] Examples of homoleptic complexes [M(SR2)6]n+ are otherwise rare.
