Outline of Final Research Achievements

A series of dithiolate-bridged heterodinuclear complexes supported by a P2S2 ligand meppp (H2meppp = meso-1,3-bis[(mercaptoethyl)phenylphosphino]propane) have been systematically prepared. Reactions of these complexes with formate ion and hydrosilanes afforded the corresponding hydride complexes. The reactivity of these hydride complexes can be tuned by varing metal ions and depends on the Lewis acidity and ionic radii of metal lions. We have also revealed that the flexibly hinging M(μ-SR)2M' structure has potential to stabilize small inorganic and organic ligands in its butterfly cleft by self-adjusting of the M-M' distances.
