Spectroscopic and kinetic studies indicate that oxo-carboxylato-molybdenum(VI) bis-dithiolene complexes, (Mo(VI)O(p-X-OBz)L2), have been generated at low temperature as active site structural models for the type II class of pyranopterin molybdenum DMSOR family enzymes. A DFT analysis of low energy charge transfer bands shows that these complexes possess a Mo-S(dithiolene) π-bonding interaction between the Mo(d(xy)) redox active molecular orbital and a cis S(p(z)) donor orbital located on one of the dithiolene ligands.

Cancer and infection diseases pose severe threats to public health worldwide stressing the need for more effective and efficient treatments. Thus, the search for broad-spectrum activity drugs seems justifiable and urgent. Herein, we investigate the anticancer and antitrypanosomatid (anti-Trypanosoma cruzi) activities of eight monoanionic metal bis(dithiolene) complexes, [PhP][M(R-thiazdt)] with M = Au, Pt, Pd, Ni, containing N-alkyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione dithiolene ligands (R-thiazdt) with different alkyl groups (R = Et, tBu).

Monoanionic and neutral nickel(II) and platinum(II) bis(dithiolene) complexes based on the 5,6-diethyl-5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin-2,3-dithiolate (de-dddt) chiral ligand have been prepared in racemic and enantiopure forms. Neutral closed-shell species have been generated from monoanionic precursors upon electrocrystallization. The racemic anionic (TBA)[Ni(,-de-dddt)(,-de-dddt)] complex crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group 2/, while the neutral complexes crystallized in the enantiomorphic tetragonal space group 422 or 422.

A stable three coordinate Cu(I)-radical complex with an S donor set having the general formula of [Cu(S-NHCH)(SS-NHCS)] (1) was isolated as dark blue needles. Interestingly, this complex possesses a zwitterionic ligand, S-NHCH, which is coordinated to the central Cu(I) ion its S-atom [S-NHCH C4-thiolate functionalized C2-protonated zwitterionic N-hetero cyclic carbene; SS-NHCS˙ NHC-based dithiolene radical anion]. 1 has been structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and further characterized by UV-vis, IR, XPS, and EPR spectroscopy.

Metallo dithiolene complexes with biological and catalytic relevance are well-known for having strong metal-ligand covalency, which dictates their valence electronic structures. We present the resonant sulfur Kβ (1s3p) X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) for a series of Ni and Cu bis(dithiolene) complexes to reveal the ligand sulfur contributions to both the occupied and unoccupied valence orbitals. While S K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy played a critical role in identifying the covalency of the unoccupied orbitals of metal dithiolenes, the present focus on XES explores the occupied density of states.
