There have been extensive studies on the use of the dithiocarbamate ligand in a variety of bonding modes for stabilizing a wide range of oxidation states in coordination compounds of main-group and transition metals. [1] Although generally unreactive in the majority of its complexes, this ligand can undergo CÀS bond cleavage, a phenomenon first observed in a Mo complex in 1972 and becoming increasingly common in the last two decades. [2] In most cases, the cleaved S atom takes on a distinctly different coordination role in the complex, except where it is abstracted by an S acceptor such as PEt 3 . [2c] For example, the cleaved S atom can assume a bridging mode (M-S-M), [2a,b,f, 3] form an MS bond, [2d,g] or interact with a neighboring ligand (e.g., the MC bond of a coordinated alkyne). [2e] Cleavage of both CÀS bonds of the ligand was reported for reactions with [Ru 3 (CO) 12 ] [2h] and [Mo 2 (m-O 2 CMe) 4 ]. [3] Other reactions of the dithiocarbamate ligand include oxidative addition of a C À S bond to alkynes [4] and coupling reactions with coordinated alkyne, [2c, 5] alkylidene, [6] vinylidene/allenylidene, [7] and cyanide [8] ligands. Most of these studies involved Mo and W complexes, except for a few examples containing Cu, [4d] Nb and Ta, [2g] and Ru. [2h, 7] In the course of our investigations on the reactivity of [{CpCr(CO) 3 } 2 ] (Cp h 5 -C 5 H 5 ) towards the EÀE bonds of organic substrates such as diphenyl dichalcogenides Ph 2 E 2 (E S, Se, Te), [9] and bis(diphenylthiophosphinyl)disulfane [Ph 2 P(S)S] 2 , [10] we studied reactions with tetraalkylthiuram disulfides [R 2 NC(S)S] 2 , and here we report the first organochromium complexes containing dithiocarbamate and dithiooxamide ligands.The instantaneous reaction of [{CpCr(CO) 3 } 2 ] with one molar equivalent of tetraethylthiuram disulfide [Et 2 NC(S)S] 2 in toluene at ambient temperature gave a dark red solution, which upon concentration yielded air-stable deep red crystals of [CpCr(CO) 2 (S 2 CNEt 2 )] (1) in 87 % yield. A similar reaction at 90 8C for 2 h gave a dark brown mixture, from which were obtained, in order of elution from a silica gel column, the following compounds: [{CpCr(CO) 2 } 2 S] (7) as a dark green solid (ca. 1 % yield), (1) (22 % yield), [CpCr(CO) 2 (SCNEt 2 )] (2) as a dark red crystalline solid (11 % yield), [Cp 4 Cr 4 S 4 ] (3) as a dark solid (22 % yield), [Cp 6 Cr 8 S 8 {(C(S)NEt 2 ) 2 }] (4) as a brown solid (6.8 % yield), suggests stable trap site for the hole, the position of which is not far from the acceptor. The slow recombination of the geminate ion pair with the relatively short distance would be related to the trap-site structure or some sorts of reorganizations because of the charge shift in the PVCz film.
