Abstract Toluene solutions of M2(NMe2)6 and mesitylene thiol react at 80°C to yield M2(S-mes)6 compounds (M = Mo and W) with the liberation of HNMe2. Similarly M2(OBut)6 in toluene reacts with mesitylene thiol under reflux to yield M2(S-mes)6 compounds. In all cases the reactions also yield some decomposition products. The compounds M2(SBut)2(NMe2)4 react with mesitylene thiol in hexane at room temperature to give M2(S-mes)6 compounds without significant side reactions. The M2(S-mes)6 compounds are the first examples of compounds containing triple bonds between molybdenum and tungsten atoms supported exclusively by thiolate ligands. Pertinent bond distances (Å) and angles (°) are: MM = 2.228(1) (Mo), 2.312(2) (W); MS = 2.325(2) (Mo), 2.32(1) (W); MMS = 96.6(1) (Mo), 97.2(6) (W). The preparations of the new compounds W2(SBut)2(NMe2)4 and W2(OBut)2(S-mes)4 are reported. © 1985.
