Introduction Metal-thiolate coordinationchemistry is of fundamental chemical interest in view of the structural diversity displayed and the relevance to the metal sites of a variety of redox-active me-talloproteins. 1 Furthermore, in metal complexes, the RS" group can be compared with the sulfido ligand S2", with the advantage that the substituent R can be manipulated to effect steric and electronic controlof ligating ability and to engineer the envi-ronment about the metal site, thus affording metal-thiolate sites accessible to small substrate molecules. As part of our continuing investigations of the chemistry of novel sterically hindered thiolate ligands, 2" 7 we have prepared the thiols 1 and 2 (Schemes I and). 8· 9 The silylated thiols are of interest as representatives of a new class of hindered ligands with “tunable” steric demand. Variation in both the silyl substituent and the number of silyl groups should lead to a corresponding variation in the steric cone angle10 of the ligand. Furthermore, the 2-(triorganosilyl) thiophenols 1 and 2, 6-bis (triorganosilyl) thiophenols may provide synthetic precursors for calixarene-like11 cyclic po-lythiophenols capable of snugly accommodating a metal while providing a cavity accessible to smalllinear molecules. In this paper, we report the coordinating properties of 2-(tri-methylsilyl) thiophenol with the group lib metal Cd and the group lb metals Cu and Ag. This choice was dictated in part by the well-documented propensity of Cu+, Ag+, and Cd2+ to form polymeric or oligomeric species with sterically innocent thiolate (1)(a) Dance, IG Polyhedron 1986, J, 1037.(b) Blower, P.
