DuBois, M R

During the previous grant period we had proposed to investigate three rather diverse areas of metallosulfur chemistry. (1) Alkyl elimination and rearrangement reactions in coordinated thiolate ligands of molybdenum dimers have been studied in a variety of systems. We were particularly interested in identifying reactions which were relevant to the development of catalytic activity for the dimers. (2) Investigations of reactions of molybdosulfur complexes with hydrogen and with various sulfur containing molecules have been initiated, In particular, we wished to identify steps in homogeneous desulfurization reactions. (3) Syntheses of new complexes have been carried out which have permitted a brief survey of structuers and reactivities of sulfido and thiolate bridged dimers of other transition metal ions including vanadium, iron and rhenium. 25 refs., 3 tabs.
