Sulfinato Complexes

Abstract

Abstract Sulfinatometal complexes exhibit unusual features in their structure, preparation, and use, and have attracted rapidly growing interest. Their structures are determined by the ability of the RSO group both to act as a monodentate ligand (sulfinato‐S or sulfinato‐O) and to add to coordination centers as a bidentate ligand, either intramolecularly or intermolecularly, via the two oxygens atoms (sulfinato‐O,O′) or via the sulfur atom and one of the oxygens (sulfinato‐O,S).
