Popis: | The nickel bis(dithiolene) complex Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2 employs its sulfur centers in reactions with alkenes, and stable interligand S-bonded alkene adducts can be formed. The present study shows that the selectivity of alkene binding to charge-neutral Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2 is influenced by the anion [Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2]-. In the absence of anion, formation of substituted dihydrodithiins (intraligand addition) dominates, whereas the presence of anion allows for the formation of stable interligand adducts. Mechanistic implications are discussed. The X-ray crystal structure of the ethylene adduct of Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2 is presented, displaying interligand binding of ethylene to sulfur centers in the bis(dithiolene) complex. |
