Abstract

Complexation of the 8,8′-bis(methylsulfanyl) derivatives of cobalt and iron bis(dicarbollides) [8,8′-(MeS)2-3,3′-M(1,2-C2B9H10)2] (M = Co, Fe) with copper, silver, palladium and rhodium leads to the formation of the corresponding chelate complexes, which is accompanied by a transition from the transoid to the cisoid conformation of the bis(dicarbollide) complex. This transition is reversible and can be used in design of coordination-driven molecular switches based on transition metal bis(dicarbollide) complexes. The solid-state structures of {(Ph3P)ClPd[8,8′- (MeS)2-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)22-S,S′]} and {(COD)Rh[8,8′-(MeS)2-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)22-S,S′]} were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
Keywords: molecular switches; cobalt bis(dicarbollide); iron bis(dicarbollide); methylsulfanyl derivatives; complexation; X-ray diffraction molecular switches; cobalt bis(dicarbollide); iron bis(dicarbollide); methylsulfanyl derivatives; complexation; X-ray diffraction
