Thiofunctional vanadium complexes.

The neutral tetradentate ligand 1,6-bis(2'-pyridyl)-2,5-dithiahexane (N(2)S(2)), containing two thioether functions, reacts with [VX(2)L(4)] (X = Br, L(4) = 2 tmeda (tmeda = Me(2)NCH(2)CH(2)NMe(2)); X = I, L = tetrahydrofuran (THF)) and [VX(3)(THF)(3)] (X = Br, I) to form the complexes [VX(2)(N(2)S(2))] (1) and [VX(2)(N(2)S(2))]X (2), respectively. [V(2)(mu-Cl)(3)(THF)(6)]I and N(2)S(2) yield the V(IV) complex [VOCl(N(2)S(2)]I (3). The pentadentate, dianionic ligand 2,6-bis(2'-mercaptophenylthio)dimethylpyridine, NS(2)S'(2)(2-), which contains two thioether (S) and two thiophenolate (S') functions, reacts with [VBr(3)(THF)(3)] to afford [VBr(NS(2)S'(2))] (4). The complex [VO(Cl)S'NS'] (5; H(2)S'NS' is the Schiff base formed between o-mercaptoaniline and o-mercaptobenzaldehyde) is obtained by redox interaction between [VCl(3)(THF)(3)] and 2,2'-dithiodibenzaldehyde in the presence of o-mercaptoaniline.The crystal and molecular structures have been obtained for 3. THF, 4. THF, and 5. n-C(5)H(12). The relevance of these compounds and their formation for the interaction between vanadium and thiofunctional biomolecules is addressed.[1]
