“…, which have a zwitterionic (inner-salt) form and a neutral form as canonical structures (Nagasawa et al, 1995;Fujihara et al, 2002), are structurally and reactively interesting (Winberg & Coffman, 1965;Otani et al, 1998;Nakayama & Akiyama, 1992;Nakayama et al, 2000;Nakayama, 2000Nakayama, , 2002Banerjee & Zubieta, 2004;Siemeling et al, 2012). We have reported the syntheses, structures, and properties of the various transition metal complexes using (R 2 N) 2 C 2 S 2 as ligands (Miyashita et al, 1998;Banerjee et al, 2002;Fujihara et al, 2004;Sugaya et al, 2009), and the ligands act as neutral monodentate, bridging, and chelating ligands maintaining the characteristic zwitterionic form.…”
