The thioterephthalate anions [1,4-(CS2)2C 6H4]2-, TTT, (I); [1,4-(CS2)(CO 2)C6H4]2-, DTT, (III); and, [1,4-(COS)(COS)C6H4]2-, DCT, (IV) have been synthesized and isolated as tetraphenylphosphonium (Ph4P)+ salts, (I, III, IV), tetra n-butylammonium (n-Bu4N)2TTT (II) and tetra-ethyl ammonium (Et4N)2TTT salts (IIa). I, IIa and IV have been characterized structurally. The S2C-C 6H4 dihedral angles Φ vary from 7 to 44. The electronic spectra of the green Ph4P+ (I) (Φ = 16) and the red Et4N+ (IIa) (Φ = 44) salts in CH 3CN solution are identical and indicate a low energy barrier to rotation about the S2C-C6H4 bond. The (-CS 2) groups in I and III react with either Cu(I)/S or with Cu(II) and undergo a sulfur addition reaction to give the "sulfur-rich" (-CS 3)- units that are coordinated to Cu(I) as bidentate chelates in the diamagnetic [ClCuS3C-C6H 4-CS3CuCl]2-, (V) and [XCuS3C-C 6H4-CO2]2-, (VI), (X = Cl -, Br-) complexes. In the latter the Cu(I) ions are bound to halide ligands and display a distorted trigonal planar coordination. Generation of S2-, or S22-, by cleavage of the C-S bonds, also occurs in the solid state synthesis of the unique [(n-BuS)2Ni 12(S)8(S2)6]2- cluster (IX), at 140 C, by the reaction of Ni(OAc)2·4H2O with II. The [Ni12(S)8(S2)6] core in IX is best described as a distorted S8 cube with 12 Ni(II)S 4 square planar units located at the centers of the cube edges. Six S22- ligands one on each of the six, S8, cube faces, are quadruply bridging the Ni ions. Two n-Bu+ groups are bound, to two of the S2- ligands that define one of the S8 cube diagonals. A bridging mode of IV and III is found in {[Cu(DCT)(PPh3)] -}n, (X) and {Ni(DTT)3Zn2(DMSO) 6}n, (XI), respectively. In the polymeric X, the trigonal planar Cu(I) ions are bound to the S donors of two IV ligands and one PPh3. In XI, the Ni(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated by three CS2 groups from two "bridging" and one "terminal" type DTT ligands. The CO2 groups of the "bridging" ligands are bound in a mono-dentate bridging fashion to one of the four-coordinate Zn(II) ions and the "terminal ligand" is coordinated in a bi-dentate fashion to a non-bridging six-coordinate Zn(II) ion. Dimethylsulfoxide molecules complete the coordination spheres around the Zn(II) ions.

- Pesticidal compositions containing phosphoric esters and divalent sulphur compounds
-
Pesticidal composition comprising: a pesticidal, phosphoric ester the molecule of which has at least one alkyl group of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, 0.05 to 10% of an agent stabilizing the said ester against decomposition by protonisation, together with adjuvants characterized in that the stabilizing agent comprises at least one sulphur compound containing per molecule at least one divalent sulphur atom of which one valence is bonded to an atom chosen from sulphur, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and metals capable of giving a salt, the other valence being bonded to an atom chosen from hydrogen, the carbon atom already noted, a second carbon atom, the nitrogen atom already noted, a second nitrogen atom, the metal atom already noted in the case of a metal of valence greater than one, a second atom of metal and oxygen when the first valence is not attached to an atom of hydrogen, the proportion of sulphur calculated with reference to the weight of the sulphur compound being between 5 and 99%. Process for stabilizing a phosphoric ester of which the molecule possesses at least one alkyl group containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms characterized in that there is added to the phosphoric ester or to a mixture which contains it, 0.05 to 10% calculated on the weight of the phosphoric acid ester of an agent capable of stabilizing the said phosphoric ester against protonisation and comprising at least one sulphur compound such as that defined thereupon.
