Abstract

The preparation of the new S3-, tetrahedral enforcer ligand, PhTtt-Bu- (phenyltris((tert-butylthio)methyl)borate), is reported as the Tl(I) salt along with its corresponding [PhTtt-Bu]CoCl and [PhTtt-Bu]NiCl complexes. Each has been characterized by X-ray diffraction. Preliminary reactivity studies demonstrate that [PhTtt-Bu]NiCl is a useful synthon for the preparation of a range of tetrahedral derivatives.
