Abstract

Schiff base dithiols with thiophene or phenyl linkers were prepared from condensation of the dialdehydes 2,5-(OHC)2C4H2S, 1,3-(OHC)2C6H4, 1,4-(OHC)2C6H4 and 1,4′-(OHC)2(C6H4 )2 with 4-H2NC6H4(SH). The Schiff base dithiols readily reacted with Ni(η5-C5H5) (PR3)Br (R = Bu or Ph) in the presence of Et3N to form bimetallic complexes Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
