A series of 3,6- and 4,5-dihalogen-substituted 1,2-benzenedithiol (H2bdt) ligands, (3,6-X12-4,5-X22-1,2-H2bdt) (X2 = H, X1 = F (1a), Cl (1b), Br (1c); X1 = H, X2 = Cl (4)), and their cobalt complexes, [Cp?Co(3,6-X12-4,5-X22-1,2-bdt)] (X2 = H, X1 = F (2a), Cl (2b), Br (2c); X1 = H, X2 = Cl (5)), were synthesized by a modified selective thiolation reaction. The 1,2-diphenyl-substituted cobaltadithiolene complex (2d) was also synthesized. The molecular structures of all cobaltadithiolene complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 2a, 5 and 12 showed unique packing structures with intermolecular interactions that confirmed them as the first examples of half-sandwich-type metalladithiolene complexes with a Cp? ligand. The effects of the benzene substituent type and position on the metalladithiolene ring were investigated using UV-vis spectroscopy measurements and cyclic voltammetry. The results indicate that substitution of halogen atoms at the 3 and 6 position of the benzene ring had a larger effect on the dithiolene ring than substitution at the 4 and 5 positions.
