The proposed research concerns the formation of compounds                       between metals and the elements sulfur, selenium and tellurium,                 which are members of a group historically known as the                          chalcogens. This research project has already resulted in the                   synthesis of a large number of interesting new compounds. Some                  of the compounds are related to the hydrodesulfurization                        catalysts which are used for cleaning up petroleum feedstocks,                  and the research is expected both to lead to a better                           understanding of the action of these catalysts and to provide                   knowledge necessary for the design of better catalysts.                                                                                                         This proposal concerns synthetic/reactivity studies on                          molecular complexes containing inorganic chalcogen ligands,                     i.e. ligands consisting of 1-6 atoms of S, Se or Te. Despite                    their simplicity (indeed possibly because of it) these ligands                  are versatile reactivity centers. The project is broken down                    into three sections. First plans are described making new                       inorganic chalcogenide anions of Ru, Rh, Nb, Ta, and rare                       earth/actinide elements. The approach here is to develop new                    classes of compounds using salt-forming reactions, typified by                  displacement of carboxylates in tetracarboxylatedimetal                         compounds by inorganic chalcogen anions. The next section                       concerns cyclopentadienyl metal sulfides as synthetic                           intermediates and catalyst models. Particular emphasis is                       placed on the mechanisms of Cp*2Ru2S4 reactions. Extensions of                  this work include Cp*2Cr2O4 chemistry, cluster building                         reactions, and electrophylic M=S functionalities. The closing                   section focuses on simple metal complexes of thiophenes                         particularly as they relate to metal sulfide reactivity.
