A three-dimensional X-ray diffraction study has verified the dimeric structure of (CF3)2C2S2CoS2C 2(CF3)2, which has previously been shown to be diamagnetic and dimeric in solution. Dimerization occurs through the unusual Co-S linkages of 2.38 ?. in length which require the Co atom to be 0.37 ?. out of the plane of the S4 group within each monomer unit. One dimeric molecule is present in the unit cell having parameters a = 7.98, b = 9.89, c = 10.12 ?., α = 103.0, β = 98.5, and γ = 100.8°. The space group is P1.
The preparation and characterization of four-coordinate complexes related by electron-transfer reactions

The synthesis and characterization of a new series of four-coordinate complexes of the general type [MS4C4R4]z are described in detail. Three series of complexes have been obtained. With R = C6H5 and CF3 and M = Ni three species have been obtained with z = 0, -1, and -2. With R = CN a series of new mononegative anionic complexes was prepared containing M = Cu, Co, Ni, Pd, Pt, and Au. The related species with z = -2 have been previously reported.2,3 All known numbers of these three series are readily interconverted by electron-transfer reactions. Polarographic half-wave potentials for the oxidation-reduction couples are tabulated. The mononegative anions of Ni, Pd, and Pt contain the metal in the doublet spin state and have been examined by electron spin resonance. The initial observations of hyperfine splittings by Ni61, Pd105, and Pt195 are reported. The presence of three principal g-values in the glass spectra of the complexes demonstrates the marked deviations of the ligand fields in these complexes from axial symmetry.
