Abstract

Thermolysis of the Dithiocarbamate complex 1 led to the formation of the thiocarbenoid complex 2 and two double cubanes: 3, which has an intercubane Cr-Cr bond and a dithiooxamide ligand in the μ-η24 bonding mode, and 4, which contains two dithiocarbamate ligands in the μ-η12 bonding mode.
