“…[12a] A superposition plot of the core of both complexes is depicted in Figure 3. A comparison of the bond angles and lengths of both complexes revealed that the SÀN distances in 1 are shorter in comparison to the S IV analogue (165.20 (9) and : S1ÀN1 1.5804(10), S1ÀN2 1.5705(11), S1ÀN3 1.5389(11), Li1ÀN1 2.006(3), Li1ÀN2 1.977(2), SÀC1 1.8181(12), PÀC1 1.8513(12), N1-S1-N2 97.49(5), S1-C1-P1 111.76(6), C1-S-N3 95.90(6), N1-Li1-N2 72.99(8), N4-Li1-N5 82.94 (16). 171.84(10) pm) because of the higher oxidation state of the sulfur atom.…”
