“…The deprotonated 3- N -dialkyl-1-acylthioureas almost exclusively yield complexes, in which the [ S,O ] − ligand forms a six-membered chelate ring. Indeed, there are only two known examples in which 3- N -dialkyl-1-acylthioureas act as [ S,N ] − -chelating ligands. , In contrast, however, the deprotonated 3- N -alkyl derivatives ArC(O)NHC(S)NHR form complexes in which both six-membered [ S,O ] − and four-membered [ S,N ] − coordination modes have been observed. In the organoruthenium(II) complexes, [Ru(η 6 - p -cymol)X{ArC(O)NC(S)NHR}] (X = Cl, N 3 ) four-membered [ S,N ] − -chelate rings are have been structurally authenticated. − However, in the platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes [M(C-N){ArC(O)NC(S)NHR}] (M = Pt, Pd; C-N = cyclometallated ligand), six-membered rings with [ S,O ] − coordination are found. − …”
