The bis(2-pyridylthio)methyl ligand, [Bptm], has been employed in the synthesis of {[Bptm]Zn(μ-F)}2, a rare example of an organozinc fluoride compound. The dimeric nature of {[Bptm]Zn(μ-F)}2, which possesses an uncommon [Zn(μ-F)]2motif, contrasts with the monomeric structures reported for the other halide derivatives, [Bptm]ZnX (X = Cl, Br, I); this difference is supported by density functional theory calculations which indicate that the fluoride derivative favors a dimeric form with bridging fluoride ligands, whereas the other derivatives favor monomeric structures with terminal halide ligands. {[Bptm]Zn(μ-F)}2reacts with Me3SiCF3to afford the organozinc trifluoromethyl complex, namely [Bptm]ZnCF3. The Zn–CF3bond in this complex is longer than the Zn–CH3bond of the previously reported methyl derivative [Bptm]ZnMe, an observation that is precedented in related zinc compounds but counter to other metal complexes. The infrared frequency corresponding to the asymmetric C–F stretch of [Bptm]ZnCF3is unusually low for a metal trifluoromethyl species but is comparable to those for other zinc and cadmium complexes.
