5. Square wave voltammetry of [Pd(9S3)(benzoquinoline)](PF6) shows reversible Pd2+/Pd3+ and Pd3+/Pd4+ oxidation waves (two waves seen in voltammogram below). See: Janzen, D.E.; VanDerveer, D.G.; Mehne, L.F.; da Dilva Fihlo, A.A.; Bredas, J.-L.; Grant, G.J.; Dalton Trans., 2008, 1872-1882.

7. {Pt (9S3)}2+ corners self-assemble with 4,4’-bipyridine to form a molecular square, four out of eight of the triflate counter ions fill the square cavity in its solid state structure. See: Janzen, D.E.; Patel, K.N.; VanDerveer, D.G.; Grant, G..J.; Chem. Comm., 2006, 3540-3542.

8. The ligand 4,4’-bipyridine bridges two {Ru(12S4)}2+ moieties to form a binuclear complex. See: Janzen, D.E.; Chen, W.; Mehne, L.F.; VanDerveer, D.G.; Grant, G.J.; Inorg. Chem. Commun., 2006, 9, 992-995.

9. The 113Cd NMR chemical shift correlates with the ligand environment around the Cd(II) center. See: Helm, M.L. Lee, J.P. Hill, L.L.; VanDerveer, D.G., Grant, G.J., J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans. 2006, 3534-3543.

10. Different types of intermolecular π-π interactions are observed in diimine complexes with Pt(II) and Pd(II) 9S3 moieties. See: Janzen, D.E.; Patel, K.P.; VanDerveer, D.G.; Grant, G.J Journal of Chemical Crystallography, 2006, 36, 83.

11. Two Pt -> Ag dative bonds are formed in the trinuclear complex, [{Pt(9S3)(Phpy)}2 Ag(MeCN)2]3+. See: Janzen, D.E.; Mehne, L.F.; VanDerveer, D.G.; Grant, G.J. Inorganic Chemistry, 2005, 44, 8182-8184.

12. The complex [Hg(18S6)](PF6)2 crystallizes in the unusual trigonal space group, P-3ma, which results in six equal Hg-S bond lengths. See: Helm, M.L.; Helton, G.P; VanDerveer, D.G.; Grant, G.J. Inorganic Chemistry, 2005, 44, 5696-5705.

13. Mixed sandwich organometallic complexes can be prepared with tridentate macrocycles and Cp*. The complexes have the formula [M(Cp*)(L)]2+ where M = Rh(III) or Ir(III) and L = 9S3, 9N3, or 10S3. See: Grant, G.J.; Lee, J.P.; Helm, M.L.; VanDerveer, D.G.; Pennington, W.T.; Mehne, L.F; Klinger, D.W. J. of

Organometallic Chem., 2005, 690, 629-639.

14. In contrast to its 9S3 and 10S3 analogs, the complex [Pt(12S3)2]2+ lacks any M-S axial interactions in the solid state. The lack of M-S axial interactions is seen in the electronic properties of the complex. See: Grant, G.J.; Goforth, A.M.; VanDerveer, D.G.; Pennington, W.P. Inorg. Chim. Acta, 2004, 357, 2107-2114.

15. In the presence of a chiral ligand such as CHIRAPHOS or BINAP, the fluxional 9S3 ligand shows two 13C NMR resonances rather one. The 13C NMR spectrum shown is for the complex is [Pt(9S3)(Chiraphos)]2+. See: Grant, G.J.; Pool, J.P.; VanDerveer, D.G. J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans., 2003, 3981-3984.

16. The diphosphine Ph2P(CH2)5PPh2 binds to the Pt(II) center to form an eight-membered chelate ring. See: Grant, G.J., Galas, D.F., Poullaos, I.M.; Carter, S.M.; VanDerveer, D.G. J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans, 2002, 15,

17. Complexes of the formula [Pt(9S3)X2] ( X = Cl, Br and I) form helical chains due to Pt-S intermolecular interactions. See; Grant, G.J.; Brandow, C.G.; Galas, D.F.; Davis, J.P.; Pennington, W.T.; Zubkowski, J.D.; Valente, E.J.

19. The oxa-thiaether complex [Cu(9S2O)2]2+ shows Jahn-Teller distortions of the axial Cu-O bonds. The lengthening of the Cu-O bonds causes all six Cu ligand bonds to be roughly equal in distance. See: Grant, G.J.; Jones, M.W.; VanDerveer, D.G..; Pennington, W T.; Mehne, L.F.; ICA, 2000, 300, 250.
