Abstract

Abstract A new homoleptic dithiolene tungsten complex, tris-{1, 2-bis (3, 5-dimethoxyphenyl)- 1, 2-ethylenodithiolene-S, S′} tungsten, was successfully synthesized via a reaction of the thiophosphate ester and sodium tungstate. The thiophosphate ester was prepared from 3, 5- dimethoxybenzaldehyde via benzoin condensation to produce the intermediate 1, 2-bis-(3, 5- dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxy-ethanone compound, followed by a reaction of the ...
