Sulfidebridged
Sulfide-bridged refers to a chemical species in which one or more sulfide ligands (S2−) serve as bridges between two or more metal centers. The most common bridging mode is μ2-S, where a single sulfide connects two metals, but μ3-S and μ4-S bridges are also found in multinuclear clusters. Bridging sulfide ligands often sit between late transition metals and can induce short metal–metal contacts and electronic communication across the core.
The presence of μ-S bridges stabilizes multinuclear cores and can modulate redox properties, magnetic coupling, and
In inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, sulfide bridges appear in synthetic metal carbonyl and cluster complexes as
Preparation and characterization typically involve reactions of metal precursors with sulfide sources under appropriate conditions, followed
