We introduce ENENES, a new family of air-stable and low-cost NNS ligands bearing NH functionalities of the general formula E(CH2)mNH(CH2)nSR, where E is selected from -NC4H8O, -NC4H8, or -N(CH3)2, m and n = 2 and/or 3, and R = Ph, Bn, Me, or SR (part of a thiophenyl fragment). The preparation and characterization of more than 15 examples of well-defined Ru and Ir complexes supported by these ligands that are relevant to bifunctional metal-ligand M/NH molecular catalysis are reported. Reactions of NNS ligands with suitable Ru or Ir precursors afford rich and diverse solid-state and solution chemistries, producing monometallic molecules as well as bimetallics in which the ligand coordinates to the metal via either bidentate (κ2[N,N'] or κ2[N',S]) or tridentate (κ3[N,N',S]) binding modes, depending on the basicity of the sulfur atom, CH2 chain length (m or n parameter), or identity of the transition metal. In the case of Ir, ligands bearing benzyl substituents lead to unprecedented κ4[N,N',S,C]-tetradentate core-structure complexes of the type [IrIIIHCl{κ4(N,N',S,C)-ligand}], resulting from ortho-metalation via C-H oxidative addition. Fourteen of these Ru and Ir complexes have been crystallographically characterized. Air- and moisture-stable complexes of the type trans-[RuIICl2{κ3[N,N',S]-ligand}(L)] (L = PPh3, PCy3, DMSO), and others, effect the selective hydrogenation of methyl trifluoroacetate into the important synthon trifluoroacetaldehyde methyl hemiacetal in basic methanol under relatively mild conditions (35-40 °C, 25 bar H2) with reasonable turnover numbers (i.e., > 1000), whereas the air-stable Ir monohydride complexes [IrIIIHCl{κ4(N,N',S,C)-ligand}] exhibit excellent catalytic activities and high chemoselectivity for the same reaction, reaching turnover numbers of >10 000.
Copper(I) complexes of N-centered aliphatic tripodal trithioether ligands - Adjustment of complex geometry by variation of spacer lengths

A series of novel aliphatic tripodal trithioether ligands 4-6 differing in the lengths of the alkyl chains between central nitrogen atom and sulfur donor function has been synthesized. The neutral ligands 4-6 react with copper(I) under formation of the mo
