9-ane-S3
1,4,7-Trithiacyclononane, also called 9-ane-S3, is the thia-crown ether with the formula (CH2CH2S)3. This cyclic thioether is most often encountered as a tridentate ligand in coordination chemistry, where it forms transition metal thioether complexes. 9-ane-S3 forms complexes with many metal ions, including those considered hard, such as copper(II) and iron(II). Most of its complexes have the formula (9-ane-S3)2sup>2+ and are octahedral. The point group of (9-ane-S3)2sup>2+ is S6. Synthesis This compound was first reported in 1977, and the current synthesis entails the assembly within the coordination sphere of a metal ion followed by decomplexation In chemistry, decomplexation refers to the removal of a ligand from a coordination complex. Decomplexation is of particular interest when the ligand has been synthesized within the coordination sphere of the metal, as is often the case in organomet ...: : References {{DEFAULTSORT:Trithiacyclononane, 1,4,7- Chelating agents ...

Transition Metal Thioether Complex
Transition metal thioether complexes comprise coordination complexes of thioether (R2S) ligands. The inventory is extensive. Dimethylsulfide complexes As the simplest thioether, dimethyl sulfide forms complexes that are illustrative of the class. Well characterized derivatives include ''cis''- iCl4L2 VCl3L2, NbCl5L, NbCl4L2, Cr(CO)5L, CrCl3L3, RuCl2L4, RuCl3L3, RhCl3L3, ''cis''- and ''trans''- rCl4L3, ''cis''-MCl2L2 (M = Pd, Pt), tCl3Lsup>−, ''cis''- and ''trans''- tCl4L2(L = SMe2). With respect to donor properties, dimethyl sulfide is a soft ligand with donor properties weaker than phosphine ligands. Such complexes are generally prepared by treating the metal halide with the thioether. Chloro(dimethyl sulfide)gold(I) can however be prepared by redox reaction of elemental gold and DMSO in the presence of hydrochloric acid. Stereochemistry Thioether complexes feature pyramidal sulfur centers. Typical C-S-C angles are near 99° in both free thioethers and their complexe ...

Thia-crown Ether
In organic chemistry, thia-crown ethers are organosulfur compounds which are the ''thia'' analogues of crown ethers (cyclic polyethers). That is, they have a sulfur atom (sulfide linkage, ) in place of each oxygen atom (ether linkage, ) around the ring. While the parent crown ethers have the formulae , the parent ''thia''-crown ethers have the formulae , where ''n'' = 3, 4, 5, 6. They have trivial names "''x''-ane-S''y''", where ''x'' and ''y'' are the number of atoms in the ring and the number of those atoms that are sulfur, respectively. Thia-crown ethers exhibit affinities for transition metals. 1,4,7-Trithiacyclononane (9-ane-S3) is a tridentate ligand and forms complexes with many metal ions, including those considered hard, such as copper(II) and iron(II).

Tridentate Ligand
A tridentate ligand (or terdentate ligand) is a ligand that has three atoms that can function as acceptor atoms in a coordination complex. Well-known tridentate ligands include diethylenetriamine with three nitrogen donor atoms, and the iminodiacetate anion which consists of one deprotonated amine nitrogen and a pair of carboxylate groups. An octahedrally coordinated atom has six positions around it. Two tridentate ligands may form a complex with such an atom. There are two possible arrangements for such a complex: ''fac'' where the coordination is in a triangle on one face of the octahedron, and ''mer'' where the coordinating atoms are in an arc around the central atom, with two atoms of the ligand opposite each other. ''Fac'' tridentate ligands are termed scorpionate ligands, especially in reference to polypyrazolylborates. If the tridentate ligand is not symmetrical, then in the ''fac'' complexes in octahedral coordination there are three possible isomers. In the ''mer'' com ...

Octahedral Geometry
In chemistry, octahedral molecular geometry, also called square bipyramidal, describes the shape of compounds with six atoms or groups of atoms or ligands symmetrically arranged around a central atom, defining the vertices of an octahedron. The octahedron has eight faces, hence the prefix ''octa''. The octahedron is one of the Platonic solids, although octahedral molecules typically have an atom in their centre and no bonds between the ligand atoms. A perfect octahedron belongs to the point group Oh. Examples of octahedral compounds are sulfur hexafluoride SF6 and molybdenum hexacarbonyl Mo(CO)6. The term "octahedral" is used somewhat loosely by chemists, focusing on the geometry of the bonds to the central atom and not considering differences among the ligands themselves. For example, , which is not octahedral in the mathematical sense due to the orientation of the bonds, is referred to as octahedral. The concept of octahedral coordination geometry was developed by Alfred Werner ...

Chelating Agents
Chelation is a type of bonding of ions and molecules to metal ions. It involves the formation or presence of two or more separate coordinate bonds between a polydentate (multiple bonded) ligand and a single central metal atom. These ligands are called chelants, chelators, chelating agents, or sequestering agents. They are usually organic compounds, but this is not a necessity, as in the case of zinc and its use as a maintenance therapy to prevent the absorption of copper in people with Wilson's disease. Chelation is useful in applications such as providing nutritional supplements, in chelation therapy to remove toxic metals from the body, as contrast agents in MRI scanning, in manufacturing using homogeneous catalysts, in chemical water treatment to assist in the removal of metals, and in fertilizers. Chelate effect The chelate effect is the greater affinity of chelating ligands for a metal ion than that of similar nonchelating (monodentate) ligands for the same metal. ...

Decomplexation
In chemistry, decomplexation refers to the removal of a ligand from a coordination complex. Decomplexation is of particular interest when the ligand has been synthesized within the coordination sphere of the metal, as is often the case in organometallic chemistry. Decomplexation by ligand displacement Ligands can be decomplexed by displacement with another ligand, e.g., a highly basic ligand or the use of high pressures of carbon monoxide. Arenes are liberated from (arene)Cr(CO)3 with pyridine: :(arene)Cr(CO)3 + 3 C5H5N → Cr(CO)3(NC5H5)3 + arene In this case Cr(CO)3(pyridine)3 can be recycled. Illustrative of this approach is the synthesis of (–)-steganone via a chromium haloarene complex. The synthesis is completed by decomplexation, liberating the natural product. ''(16)'' 1,4,7-Trithiacyclononane can be prepared within the coordination sphere of a metal, and then isolated by decomplexation. : Oxidative decomplexation Another popular method for decomplexation ...

Coordination Sphere
In coordination chemistry, the first coordination sphere refers to the array of molecules and ions (the ligands) directly attached to the central metal atom. The second coordination sphere consists of molecules and ions that attached in various ways to the first coordination sphere. First coordination sphere The first coordination sphere refers to the molecules that are attached directly to the metal. The interactions between the first and second coordination spheres usually involve hydrogen-bonding. For charged complexes, ion pairing is important. In hexamminecobalt(III) chloride ( o(NH3)6l3), the cobalt cation plus the 6 ammonia ligands comprise the first coordination sphere. The coordination sphere of this ion thus consists of a central MN6 core "decorated" by 18 N−H bonds that radiate outwards. Second coordination sphere Metal ions can be described as consisting of series of two concentric coordination spheres, the first and second. More distant from the second coo ...

Chlorocarbon
An organochloride, organochlorine compound, chlorocarbon, or chlorinated hydrocarbon is an organic compound containing at least one covalently bonded atom of chlorine. The chloroalkane class ( alkanes with one or more hydrogens substituted by chlorine) provides common examples. The wide structural variety and divergent chemical properties of organochlorides lead to a broad range of names, applications, and properties. Organochlorine compounds have wide use in many applications, though some are of profound environmental concern, with TCDD being one of the most notorious. Physical and chemical properties Chlorination modifies the physical properties of hydrocarbons in several ways. These compounds are typically denser than water due to the higher atomic weight of chlorine versus hydrogen. Aliphatic organochlorides are often alkylating agents as chlorine can act as a leaving group, which can result in cellular damage. Natural occurrence Many organochlorine compounds have been isola ...

HSAB Theory
HSAB concept is a jargon for "hard and soft Lewis acids and bases, (Lewis) acids and bases". HSAB is widely used in chemistry for explaining stability of chemical compound, compounds, reaction mechanisms and pathways. It assigns the terms 'hard' or 'soft', and 'acid' or 'base' to chemical species. 'Hard' applies to species which are small, have high charge states (the charge criterion applies mainly to acids, to a lesser extent to bases), and are weakly Polarizability, polarizable. 'Soft' applies to species which are big, have low charge states and are strongly polarizable. The theory is used in contexts where a qualitative, rather than quantitative, description would help in understanding the predominant factors which drive chemical properties and reactions. This is especially so in transition metal chemistry, where numerous experiments have been done to determine the relative ordering of ligands and transition metal ions in terms of their hardness and softness. HSAB theory is al ...
