Abstract: 

In contrast to dinuclear (disulfido)copper complexes related trisulfido
compounds have not been reported so far. Here we describe two new
complexes of this type, [Cu₂(tmpa)₂S₃](SbF₆)₂ {tmpa = tris(2‐pyridylmethyl)amine} and [Cu₂(tet b)₂S₃](OTf)₂ (tet b = rac‐5,5,7,12,12,14‐hexamethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane),
that have been investigated and could be structurally characterized.
Furthermore, the reactivity of these complexes towards dioxygen showed
that the corresponding (peroxido)copper complexes formed. Depending on
the stoichiometric conditions (excess of sulfur) mononuclear end‐on
(sulfido)copper complexes were detected spectroscopically. DFT
calculations were performed and supported the experimental results.
