Several Rh(I), Ir(III), and Pt(II) complexes of the chiral P,S-bidentate ligand 2 have been prepared and characterized. Detailed two-dimensional NMR studies show that (i) the boat-type chelate ring and the stereogenic sulfur center can invert rapidly at ambient temperature and (ii) the sulfur donor may dissociate, essentially destroying the chiral pocket. The solid-state structure of [Pt({eta}{sup 3}-C{sub 3}H{sub 5})(2)]PF{sub 6} (3) has been determined and the sulfur substituent shown to have an axial orientation. The six-membered chelate ring takes up a boat-like conformation. As shown by an X-ray diffraction study for 3, and via incoherent inelastic neutron scattering (IINS) measurements for the Pd analog, 4, the OH group is remote from the metal atom. 42 refs., 11 figs., 6 tabs.
