The cationic complexes Ru 2 [( p ‐MeC 6 H 4 i Pr) 2 ( p ‐SC 6 H 4 Br) 3 ] + and Rh 2 [(C 5 Me 5 ) 2 ( p ‐SC 6 H 4 Br) 3 ] + are available in quantitative yields from the reaction of p ‐HSC 6 H 4 Br with [Ru( p MeC 6 H 4 i Pr)Cl 2 ] 2 and [Rh(C 5 Me 5 )Cl 2 ] 2 respectively. These complexes are found to undergo triple Suzuki coupling with oligophenylene boronic acids to give [Ru 2 ( p ‐MeC 6 H 4 i Pr) 2 { p ‐S‐(C 6 H 4 ) n ‐C 6 H 5 } 3 ] + and [Rh 2 (C 5 Me 5 ) 2 { p ‐S‐(C 6 H 4 ) n ‐C 6 H 5 } 3 ] + respectively. The star‐like trisbromo complexes are potential precursors for the insertion of dinuclear organometallic entities into the main chain of conjugated molecules. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
