    Abstract:
    The organochalcogen ligands derived from 3-methyl-imidazole-2-thione/selone groups, Mbit, Mbis, Ebit and Ebis [Mbit = 1,1'-methylenebis(3-methyl-imidazole-2-thione); Mbis = 1,1'-methylenebis(3-methyl-imidazole-2-selone), Ebit = 1,1'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis(3-methyl-imidazole-2-thione), Ebis = 1,1'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis(3-methyl-imidazole-2-selone)] have been synthesized and characterized. Reactions of [Cp*Ir(micro-Cl)Cl]2 and [Cp*Rh(micro-Cl)Cl]2 (Cp* = eta5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with Mbit, Mbis, Ebit and Ebis result in the formation of the complexes [Cp*Ir(Mbit)Cl]Cl 1a x Cl), [Cp*Ir(Mbis)Cl]Cl (3a x Cl), [Cp*Ir(Ebit)Cl]Cl (1b x Cl), [Cp*Ir(Ebis)Cl]Cl (2a x Cl), [Cp*Rh(Mbit)Cl]Cl (2b x Cl), Cp*Rh(Mbis)Cl][Cp*RhCl(3)] (3b x[Cp*RhCl(3)]), [Cp*Rh(Ebit)Cl]Cl (4a x Cl) and [Cp*Rh(Ebis)Cl]Cl (4b x Cl), respectively. All compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, NMR and IR spectra. The molecular structures of 1b, 2b, 3a, 3b and 4a have been determined by X-ray crystallography. After activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO), the iridium complexes exhibit moderate activities for the vinyl polymerization of norbornene.
