Reactions of pentachlorothiophenol. I. Preparation of some simple metallic and non-metallic derivatives

Abstract

The preparation and properties of simple metal derivatives of pentachlorothiophenol are described: MSC6Cl5 (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs, TI, Cu, Ag, Au, Ph3Sn, n-Bu3Sn, Ph3Pb, Ph4As), M(SC6Cl5)2 (M = Zn, Cd, Hg, Ni, Pd, Pb, n-Bu2Sn, Sn), Ge(SC6Cl5)4, and Pt(SC6Cl5)3Cl. Non-metallic derivatives of group V, M(SC6Cl5)3 (M = P, As, Sb) and PhP(SC6Cl5)2 have also been prepared from Pb(SC6Cl5)2 and the corresponding non-metallic chloride. The infrared spectra of these compounds and the mass spectra of C6Cl5SH and (C6Cl5S)2 have been examined.
