Lanthanide and Transition Metal Complexes

Treatment of a range of bis(thiourea) ligands with inert organometallic transition-metal ions gives a number of novel complexes that exhibit unusual ligand binding modes and significantly enhanced anion binding ability. The ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(η(6)-p-cymene)(κS,S',N-L(3)-H)](+) (2b) possesses juxtaposed four- and seven-membered chelate rings and binds anions as both 1:1 and 2:1 host guest complexes. The pyridyl bis(thiourea) complex [Ru(η(6)-p-cymeme)(κS,S',N(py)-L(4))](2+) (4) binds anions in both 1:1 and 1:2 species, whereas the free ligand is ineffective because of intramolecular NH⋅⋅⋅N hydrogen bonding. Novel palladium(II) complexes with nine- and ten-membered chelate rings are also reported.
