Abstract:
The reaction beetwen tantalum pentakis(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazolate) and CS2 afforded novel complex [Ta(=S)(dmpz)2{(dmpz)3CS}]. In this reaction the molecule of CS2 undergoes scission with the migration of one sulfide to the tantalum atom while three pyrazolate residues migrate to carbon with the formation of unusual (dmpz)3CS– ligand. The structure of the product was established by X-ray diffraction.
