Reactions of low-valent metal complexes with fluorocarbons. Part IX. Iridium and platinum complexes of bis(trifluoromethyl) thioketen and 1,1-bis(trifluoromethyl)ethene-2,2-dithiolate

A mixture of the six- and five-membered heterocyclic compounds 3,6-bis-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)-ethylidene]-s-tetrathian and 3,5-bis-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethylidene]-1,2,4-trithiolan reacts with (Ph3P)4Pt, (Ph2PMe)4Pt, trans-(Ph3P)2Ir(CO)Cl, and trans-(Ph2PMe)2Ir(CO)Cl to form bis(trifluoromethyl)thioketen complexes (Ph3P)2Pt[(CF3)2CCS], (Ph3P)2Ir(CO)Cl[(CF3)2CCS], and (Ph2MeP)2Ir(CO)Cl[(CF3)2CCS], and the 1,1-bis(trifluoromethyl)ethene-2,2-dithiolate complexes (Ph3P)2Pt[(CF3)2CCS2], (Ph2PMe)2Pt[(CF3)2–CCS2], (Ph3P)2Ir(CO)Cl[(CF3)2CCS2], and (Ph2PMe)2Ir(CO)Cl[(CF3)2CCS2].
