Gallium(III) and indium(III) dithiolate complexes: Versatile precursors for metal sulfides

Abstract

The chemistry of classical and organometallic complexes of gallium and indium with dithiolate ligands, i.e., dithiocarboxylates, xanthates, dithiocarbamates, dithiophosphates, dithiophophinates and dithioarsenates, has been reviewed. Synthesis, spectroscopic and structural aspects of these complexes are described. Their emerging role as single source molecular precursors for the preparation of metal sulfide thin films and nano-particles has been discussed.

Role of the Chemical Environment beyond the Coordination Site: Structural Insight into FeIII Protoporphyrin Binding to Cysteine‐Based Heme‐Regulatory Protein Motifs

“…In our study,t he NMR spectra for 11, 18, 21,a nd 30 each showed only one distinct signal set upon binding of Ga III PPIX, indicating in most of these cases (18,21,30)apentacoordinated-although for one sequence (peptide 11)ahexacoordinated-bound state. In contrast, the NMR spectra for 8 exhibited multiple signal sets indicating as ymmetry break upon Ga III PPIX association,w hichc ouldo nly be explainedi nt erms of an asymmetrichexacoordination.…”

Thioether functionalised gallium and indium alkoxides in materials synthesis

“…1 On the other hand, organothiolates as well as thioether coordination to metal chlorides provide suitable precursors for the synthesis of different metal sulphides at a temperature range of 200-600 1C, which is reported to be significantly lower than the reaction of hydrogen sulphide with the metal halides. 26,[30][31][32] Thin film formation via LPCVD and chemical composition…”

Dialkyltin(IV)bis(O–tolyl/benzyldithiocarbonate) complexes: Spectroscopic, thermogravemetric, antifungal and crystal analysis of n–Bu2Sn(S2COCH2C6H5)2

“…Alkyldithiocarbonates are well known organosulfur compounds with high donating properties 30 and have attracted considerable attention in the last decades, because of their academic interest, [31][32] industrial applications [33][34] and potential role as anti-carcinogenic agents. [35][36] However, literature survey revealed paucity of information especially about (o-, m-and p-tolyl/benzyl)dithiocarbonate ligands and their derivatives.…”
