Deposition of exchange-coupled dinickel complexes on gold substrates utilizing ambidentate mercapto-carboxylato ligands.

The chemisorption of magnetically bistable transition metal complexes on planar surfaces has recently attracted increased scientific interest due to its potential application in various fields, including molecular spintronics. In this work, the synthesis of mixed-ligand complexes of the type [NiL(L')](ClO), where L represents a 24-membered macrocyclic hexaazadithiophenolate ligand and L' is a ω-mercapto-carboxylato ligand (L' = HS(CH)CO (), HS(CH)CO (), or HS(CH)CO ()), and their ability to adsorb on gold surfaces is reported. Besides elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS), UV-vis spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography (for and ), the compounds were also studied by temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements (for and ) and (broken symmetry) density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Trialkylphosphine-stabilized copper(I) dialkylaluminum(III) ethanedithiolate complexes: single-source precursors and a novel modification of copper aluminum disulfide.

Four types of trialkylphosphine-stabilized copper dialkylaluminum ethanedithiolate complexes with the compositions [(i)Pr3PCuSC2H4SAlR2]2 (R = Me, Et, (i)Pr, (t)Bu, vinyl), [((i)Pr3PCu)3(SC2H4S)2AlR2] (R = Et), [(Me3P)3CuSC2H4SAlR2] (R = Me, Et), and [(Me3P)4Cu][SC2H4SAlR2] (R = Me, Et, (i)Pr) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. The first series features an eight-membered (CuSAlS)2 ring as the core structure. The trimethylphosphine complexes can be distinguished as nonionic and ionic compounds, depending on the amount of trimethylphosphine.

Tetranuclear organometallic complexes based on 1,2-ethanedithiolate ligands as potential precursors for CuMS2 (M = Ga, In).

The synthesis and characterization of a series of homologous tetranuclear complexes [((i)Pr3PCu)2(MR2)2(SCH2CH2S)2] (MR2 = GaMe2 (2), GaEt2 (3), Ga(i)Pr2 (4), Ga(n)Bu2 (5) and InMe2 (6), InEt2 (7), In(i)Pr2 (8), In(n)Bu2 (9)) and of related compounds [((i)Pr3PCu)3(MR2)(SCH2CH2S)2] (MR2 = GaMe2 (10), GaEt2 (11), Ga(i)Pr2 (12), Ga(n)Bu2 (13) and InMe2 (14), InEt2 (15), In(i)Pr2 (16), In(n)Bu2 (17)) are presented. The molecular structures of these were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Thermolysis processes of all the representatives of 2-9 were investigated by simultaneous thermal analysis and thermal decomposition in a nitrogen atmosphere in a quartz glass tube.
