Insights to the strained thiocarbamate derivative complexes of platinum group metals induced by azide as a co-ligand: Characterization and biological studies

Halide bridged metal precursors of platinum group on reaction with thiocarbamate derivative ligands (L1 and L2) yielded a series of neutral mono-dentate complexes (1–6) formulated as [(arene)M(κ1(S)-L)Cl2] where, L = L1 and L2, M = Ru, Rh and Ir, arene = p-cymene, Cp∗. Structural studies revealed the ligands coordinated to the metal centers through the thione sulfur in a mono-dentate fashion. These neutral complexes (1–6) were further reacted …
