AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied how metal-ligand binding works in zinc bis(thiophenoxide) complexes.
- They found that there is a weak binding interaction in solution between thiophenoxide ligands and a trialkylborane.
- The strength of this binding interaction varies based on the strength of the Lewis acid and its distance from the zinc thiophenoxide.
Article Abstract
Metal-ligand cooperative binding modes were interrogated in a series of zinc bis(thiophenoxide) complexes. A weak B-S binding interaction is observed in solution between the weakly Lewis basic thiophenoxide ligands and an appended trialkylborane. The energy of this binding event is dependent upon the strength of the Lewis acid and its proximity to the zinc thiophenoxide.
