Synthesis and characterization of In(III) S-thiobezoylethioglycolate complexes and their catalytic applications in CO2 fixation and multicomponent synthetic reactions

Indium(III) complexes of S-thiobenzoylthioglycolate (Stbtg) with nitrogen-donor ligands, such as 2,2'-bipyridyl and 1,10-phenanthroline, have been synthesized. The complexes [In(1,10-phen)(Stbtg)₃] (1), [In(2,2'-bipy)(Stbtg)₃] (2), and a thioglycolate salt, Na[In((2,2'-bipy)(SCH₂COO)₂].H₂O (3), obtained by...
