Abstract
The cleavage of C-S bonds represents a crucial step in fossil fuel refinement to remove organosulfur impurities. Efforts are required to identify alternatives that can replace the energy-intensive hydrodesulfurization process currently in use. In this context, we have developed a series of bis-thiolato-ligated CrIII complexes supported by the L2- ligand (L2- = 2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-diyl(bis(1,1-diphenylethanethiolate), one of them displaying desulfurization of one thiolate of the ligand under reducing and acidic conditions at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. While only 5-coordinated complexes were previously isolated by reaction of L2- with 3d metal MIII ions, both 5- and 6-coordinated mononuclear complexes have been obtained in the case of CrIII, viz., [CrIIILCl], [CrIIILCl2]-, and [CrIIILCl(CH3CN)]. The investigation of the reactivity of [CrIIILCl(CH3CN)] under reducing conditions led to a dinuclear [CrIII2L2(μ-Cl)(μ-OH)] compound and, in the presence of protons, to the mononuclear CrIII complex [CrIII(LN2S)2]+, where LN2S- is the partially desulfurized form of L2-. A desulfurization mechanism has been proposed involving the release of H2S, as evidenced experimentally.

Abstract
The synthesis and a detailed reactivity study of a binuclear zinc(II) bis(benzenethiolate) complex, [Zn2(BPMP)(SPh)2]+ (4), and an unprecedented binuclear zinc(II) pentasulfido complex, [Zn2(BPMP)(μ2-S5)]+ (6), are presented. While one-electron oxidation of the coordinated benzenethiolate ligands in 4 by Cp2Fe+ produces diphenyl disulfide and [Zn2(BPMP)(μ2-OH)]2+ (5), a two-electron redox reaction between coordinated benzenethiolate ligands in 4 and elemental S (S8) generated diphenyl disulfide and the binuclear zinc(II) pentasulfido complex 6. Complex 6 features a chelating, dianionic, pentasulfido (S52-) chain and can consume up to a maximum of 3 equiv of PPh3 to generate Ph3PS and 5, while the reaction of 6 with 1 equiv of diphenylphosphinoethane allowed the isolation of [Zn2(BPMP)(μ2-S4)]+ (7). A proteolysis reaction of the coordinated S52- chain in 6 with fluoroboric acid (HBF4), benzoic acid (PhCOOH), and thioacetic acid (MeCOSH) generates the complexes [Zn2(BPMP)(MeCN)2]3+ (1), [Zn2(BPMP)(μ2-PhCOO)2]+ (8), and [Zn2(BPMP)(μ2-SCOMe)2]+ (9), respectively, while the protonated S52- chain liberates S8 and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Finally, the transfer of the coordinated benzenethiolate ligands in 4 and the S52- chain in 6 to selected organic compounds, namely, PhCH2Br and PhC(O)Cl, for the generation of various organosulfur compounds is demonstrated.

Abstract
Sulfur-rich metalloproteins and metalloenzymes, containing strongly covalent metal-thiolate (cysteinate) or metal-sulfide bonds in their active site, are ubiquitous in nature. The metal-sulfur motif is a highly versatile tool involved in various biological processes: (i) metal storage, transport, and detoxification; (ii) electron transfer; (iii) activation of the sulfur atom to promote different types of S-based reactions including S-alkylation, S-oxygenation, S-nitrosylation, or disulfide or thiyl radicals formation; (iv) activation of small earth-abundant molecules (such as water, dioxygen, superoxide radical anion, carbon oxides, nitrous oxide, and dinitrogen).This Account describes our investigations carried out during the past 10 years on bio-inspired and biomimetic low-nuclearity complexes containing metal-thiolate bonds. The general objective of these structural, spectroscopic, electrochemical, and catalytic studies was to determine structure-properties-function correlations useful to (i) understanding the peculiar features or the mechanism of the mimicked natural systems and/or (ii) reproducing enzymatic reactivities for specific catalytic applications.By employing a unique highly preorganized N2S2-donor ligand with two thiolate functions, in combination with different first-row transition metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, or V), we got access to a series of bio-inspired sulfur-rich complexes displaying a widespread spectrum of structures, properties, and functions. We isolated a dicopper(I) complex that, for the first time, mimicked concomitantly the key structural, spectroscopic, and redox features of the biological CuA center, a highly efficient electron transfer agent involved in the respiratory enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. In the field of sulfur activation, we explored (i) sulfur methylation promoted by a Zn-dithiolate complex that mimics Zn-dependent thiolate alkylation proteins and shows different selectivity compared to the Ni and Co congeners and (ii) a series of Co, Fe, and Mn complexes as the first copper-free systems able to promote thiolate/disulfide interconversion mediated by (de)coordination of halides. Concerning metal-centered reactivity, we investigated two families of metal-thiolate catalysts for small-molecule activation, especially relevant in the fields of sustainable fuel production and energy conversion: (i) two isostructural Mn and Fe dinuclear complexes that activate and reduce dioxygen selectively, either to hydrogen peroxide or water as a function of the experimental conditions; (ii) a family of dinuclear MFe (M = Ni or Fe) hydrogenase mimics active for catalytic H2 evolution both in organic solution and on modified electrodes in water.This Account thus illustrates how the versatility of thiolate ligation can support selected functions for transition metal complexes, depending on the nature of the metal, the nuclearity of the complex, the presence and type of co-ligands, the second coordination sphere effects, and the experimental conditions.

Abstract
In our efforts to understand the nature of metal thiolates, we have explored the chemistry of cobalt ion supported by (thiolato)phosphine ligand derivatives. Herein, we synthesized and characterized a square-planar CoII complex binding with a bidentate (thiolato)phosphine ligand, Co(PS1″)2 (1) ([PS1″]- = [P(Ph)2(C6H3-3-SiMe3-2-S)]-). The complex activates O2 to form a ligand-based oxygenation product, Co(OPS1″)2 (2) ([OPS1″]- = [PO(Ph)2(C6H3-3-SiMe3-2-S)]-). In addition, an octahedral CoIII complex with a tridentate bis(thiolato)phosphine ligand, [NEt4][Co(PS2*)2] (3) ([PS2*]2- = [P(Ph)(C6H3-3-Ph-2-S)2]2-), was obtained. Compound 3 cleaves the C-Cl bond in dichloromethane via an S-based nucleophilic attack to generate a chloromethyl thioether group. Two isomeric products, [Co(PS2*)(PSSCH2Cl*)] (4 and 4') ([PSSCH2Cl*]- = [P(Ph)(C6H3-3-Ph-2-S)(C6H3-3-Ph-2-SCH2Cl)]-), were isolated and fully characterized. Both transformations, oxygenation of a CoII-bound phosphine donor in 1 and alkylation of a CoIII-bound thiolate in 3, were monitored by spectroscopic methods. These reaction products were isolated and fully characterized. Density functional theory (DFT, the B3LYP functional) calculations were performed to understand the electronic structure of 1 as well as the pathway of its transformation to 2.

Abstract
Reduction of a thiolate-bridged FeIIFeIII complex leads to the cleavage of an Fe-S bond by the insertion of the methylene unit from CH2Cl2 to give a neutral FeIIFeIII complex with a novel Fe-CH2-S fragment. The structural and electrochemical differences of the alkylated and the non-alkylated Fe2S2 complexes are also examined.

Abstract
Sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) spectra of the monodentate sulfate complexes [MII(itao)(SO4)(H2O)0,1] (M = Co, Ni, Cu) and [Cu(Me6tren)(SO4)] exhibit well-defined preedge transitions at 2479.4, 2479.9, 2478.4, and 2477.7 eV, respectively, despite having no direct metal-sulfur bond, while the XAS preedge of [Zn(itao)(SO4)] is featureless. The sulfur K-edge XAS of [Cu(itao)(SO4)] but not of [Cu(Me6tren)(SO4)] uniquely exhibits a weak transition at 2472.1 eV, an extraordinary 8.7 eV below the first inflection of the rising K-edge. Preedge transitions also appear in the sulfur K-edge XAS of crystalline [MII(SO4)(H2O)] (M = Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu, but not Zn) and in sulfates of higher-valent early transition metals. Ground-state density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations show that charge transfer from coordinated sulfate to paramagnetic late transition metals produces spin polarization that differentially mixes the spin-up (α) and spin-down (β) spin orbitals of the sulfate ligand, inducing negative spin density at the sulfate sulfur. Ground-state DFT calculations show that sulfur 3p character then mixes into metal 4s and 4p valence orbitals and various combinations of ligand antibonding orbitals, producing measurable sulfur XAS transitions. TDDFT calculations confirm the presence of XAS preedge features 0.5-2 eV below the rising sulfur K-edge energy. The 2472.1 eV feature arises when orbitals at lower energy than the frontier occupied orbitals with S 3p character mix with the copper(II) electron hole. Transmission of spin polarization and thus of radical character through several bonds between the sulfur and electron hole provides a new mechanism for the counterintuitive appearance of preedge transitions in the XAS spectra of transition-metal oxoanion ligands in the absence of any direct metal-absorber bond. The 2472.1 eV transition is evidence for further radicalization from copper(II), which extends across a hydrogen-bond bridge between sulfate and the itao ligand and involves orbitals at energies below the frontier set. This electronic structure feature provides a direct spectroscopic confirmation of the through-bond electron-transfer mechanism of redox-active metalloproteins.

Abstract
The L-cysteine derived N2S2 ligand precursor H2L and its nickel(ii) complex L2Ni2 were investigated with respect to their behaviour in contact with electrophilic and nucleophilic methylation reagents (H2L = (N,N'-dimethyl-(2R,5R)-bis-(sulfanylmethyl)-piperazine). Treatment of deprotonated L(2-) with MeI led to the selective methylation of the thiolate groups thus generating a novel potential ligand, Me2L, which is neutral and contains two thioether donors. The coordinating properties of Me2L were demonstrated by the synthesis of a first nickel(ii) complex: reaction with NiBr2 led to a mononuclear complex 2 where all donor atoms coordinate to the nickel ion, which completes its octahedral coordination sphere by the two bromide ligands. If, however, the complex [LNi]2 (1) is treated with MeI only one thiolate function per ligand moiety is methylated, while the other one remains a thiolate. This leads to [MeLNi](+) complex metal fragments, which trimerize including a μ3-bridging iodide ion to give the compound 3 that was tested with regards to ACS reactivity. While it behaved inert towards CO, attempts to replace the bridging iodide ligand by methyl units in reactions with nucleophilic methylation reagents led to a product, which could not be identified but reacted with CO. Work-up showed that this protocol had converted the thiolate function of MeL(-) into a thioester function, which corresponds to an ACS-like reactivity.

Abstract
The tetrahedral S-coordinated complex [Zn(MeImHS)4](ClO4)2, synthesised from the reaction of [Zn(ClO4)2] with methimazole (1-methyl-3H-imidazole-2-thione, MeImHS), reacts with triethylamine to yield the homoleptic complex [Zn(MeImS)2] (MeImS = anion methimazole). ESI-MS and MAS (13)C-NMR experiments supported MeImS acting as a (N,S)-chelating ligand. The DFT-optimised structure of [Zn(MeImS)2] is also reported and the main bond lengths compared to those of related Zn-methimazole complexes. The complex [Zn(MeImS)2] reacts under mild conditions with methyl iodide and separates the novel complex [Zn(MeImSMe)2I2] (MeImSMe = S-methylmethimazole). X-ray diffraction analysis of the complex shows a ZnI2N2 core, with the methyl thioethers uncoordinated to zinc. Conversely, the reaction of [Zn(MeImS)2] with hydroiodic acid led to the formation of the complex [Zn(MeImHS)2I2] having a ZnI2S2 core with the neutral methimazole units S-coordinating the metal centre. The Zn-coordinated methimazole can markedly modify the coordination environment when changing from its thione to thionate form and vice versa. The study of the interaction of the drug methimazole with the complex [Zn(MeIm)4](2+) (MeIm = 1-methylimidazole) - as a model for Zn-enzymes containing a N4 donor set from histidine residues - shows that methimazole displaces only one of the coordinated MeIm molecules; the formation constant of the mixed complex [Zn(MeIm)3(MeImHS)](2+) was determined.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalyzes the disproportionation of superoxide (O2(• -)) into H2O2 and O2(g) by toggling through different oxidation states of a first-row transition metal ion at its active site. Ni-containing SODs (NiSODs) are a distinct class of this family of metalloenzymes due to the unusual coordination sphere that is comprised of mixed N/S-ligands from peptide-N and cysteine-S donor atoms. A central goal of our research is to understand the factors that govern reactive oxygen species (ROS) stability of the Ni-S(Cys) bond in NiSOD utilizing a synthetic model approach. In light of the reactivity of metal-coordinated thiolates to ROS, several hypotheses have been proffered and include the coordination of His1-Nδ to the Ni(II) and Ni(III) forms of NiSOD, as well as hydrogen bonding or full protonation of a coordinated S(Cys). In this work, we present NiSOD analogues of the general formula [Ni(N2S)(SR')](-), providing a variable location (SR' = aryl thiolate) in the N2S2 basal plane coordination sphere where we have introduced o-amino and/or electron-withdrawing groups to intercept an oxidized Ni species. The synthesis, structure, and properties of the NiSOD model complexes (Et4N)[Ni(nmp)(SPh-o-NH2)] (2), (Et4N)[Ni(nmp)(SPh-o-NH2-p-CF3)] (3), (Et4N)[Ni(nmp)(SPh-p-NH2)] (4), and (Et4N)[Ni(nmp)(SPh-p-CF3)] (5) (nmp(2-) = dianion of N-(2-mercaptoethyl)picolinamide) are reported. NiSOD model complexes with amino groups positioned ortho to the aryl-S in SR' (2 and 3) afford oxidized species (2(ox) and 3(ox)) that are best described as a resonance hybrid between Ni(III)-SR and Ni(II)-(•)SR based on ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies, as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results presented here, demonstrating the high percentage of S(3p) character in the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of the four-coordinate reduced form of NiSOD (NiSODred), suggest that the transition from NiSODred to the five-coordinate oxidized form of NiSOD (NiSODox) may go through a four-coordinate Ni-(•)S(Cys) (NiSODox-Hisoff) that is stabilized by coordination to Ni(II).

Abstract
A kinetic study is reported for reactions of pseudotetrahedral nickel(II) arylthiolate complexes [(Tp(R,Me))Ni-SAr] (Tp(R,Me) = hydrotris{3-R-5-methyl-1-pyrazolyl}borate, R = Me, Ph, and Ar = C6H5, C6H4-4-Cl, C6H4-4-Me, C6H4-4-OMe, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2, 2,4,6-(i)Pr3C6H2) with organic electrophiles R'X (i.e., MeI, EtI, BzBr) in low-polarity organic solvents (toluene, THF, chloroform, dichloromethane, or 1,2-dichloroethane), yielding a pseudotetrahedral halide complex [(Tp(R,Me))Ni-X] (X = Cl, Br, I) and the corresponding organosulfide R'SAr. Competitive reactions with halogenated solvents and adventitious air were also examined. Akin to reactions of analogous and biomimetic zinc complexes, a pertinent mechanistic question is the nature of the reactive nucleophile, either an intact thiolate complex or a free arylthiolate resulting from a dissociative pre-equilibrium. The observed kinetics conformed to a second-order rate law, first order with respect to the complex and electrophile, and no intermediate complexes were observed. In the absence of a mechanistically diagnostic rate law, a variety of mechanistic probes were examined, including kinetic effects of varying the metal, solvent, electrophile, and temperature, as well as the 3-pyrazolyl and arylthiolate substituents. Compared to zinc analogues, the effect of Ni-SAr covalency is also of interest herein. The results are broadly interpreted with respect to the disparate mechanistic pathways.
