This theses deals with the syntheses and the coordination behaviour of polyimidosulfur anions like S(NR)32–, S(NR)42–, RS(NR)2– or RS(NR)3–, the nitrogen analogues of the well known oxo-anions SO32–, SO42–, RSO2– and RSO3–. The first aim was the synthesis of a triimidosulfite with three different NR-substituents, a so called asymmetrical triimidosulfite. In all reactions, that have been carried out to obtain a triimidosulfite with three (or two) different residues at nitrogen, the final product was always the dilithium sulfide adduct. The syntheses of chiral alkylenediimidosulfites was successful. Similar to Corey’s S-ylides (R2(O)S+––CR2) and Wittig’s phosphonium ylides (R3P+––CR2) these molecules contain a positively charged sulfur atom next to a carbanionic centre. The structures of the alkylenediimidosulfites are not influenced by the different substituents at nitrogen and carbon, respectively. In each case a doublecubic structure is received. The first members of a completely new class of compounds were synthesised: the aryl-bis-(diimidosulfinates). In this compounds two SN2 units are connected via a heteroaromatic linker, containing a potential donor centre in metal coordination. They represent, like the known alkyldiimidosulfinates, dipodal monoanionic ligands. In the field of sulfur (VI) chemistry the syntheses of aryltriimidosulfonates were successful. Hitherto it was believed, that only spatial less demanding lithium organics could be added to a S=N double bond in S(NtBu)3. This assumption was confirmed by the fact that methyl- and phenylacetylene-triimidosulfonate were the only known alkylsulfonates. Nevertheless, the addition of several lithiumheteroarenes to sulfurtriimide worked without difficulties. If the shape of the nucleophile permits to slot in between the NtBu substituents and to approach the electrophilic sulfur in the sulfurtriimide from the side rather than in an orthogonal angle, the addition reaction works smoothly. Although the steric demand of the tris(tert.-butyl)triimidosulfonate unit is very high, the synthesis of thiophene-bis-(triimidosulfonate) worked. The sulfonate moieties function as dipodal ligands.
S=N versus S+-N-

The main aim of this thesis was to characterise structurally four sulfur-nitrogen compounds in terms of their experimental electron density distribution: Sulfurdiimide S(NtBu)2 (I), sulfurtriimide S(NtBu)3 (II), methyl(diimido)sulfinic acid H(NtBu)2SMe (III) and methylene-bis(triimido)sulfonic acid CH2{S(NtBu)2(HNtBu)}2 (IV). The electron density was determined by multipole refinements on high-resolution X-ray data at low temperatures. The refined densities were analysed by means of Bader’s theory of ‘Atoms in Molecules’ to get information about the bonding types (shared/ closed shell), bond strengths, and the extent of polarisation. The distributions of the static deformation densities, which already showed the most important electronical features as lone-pairs and bonding densities, were calculated for all compounds. The spatial distributions provided a first impression about the bonding properties. The nitrogen lone-pair densities were found to be inclined towards the electropositive sulfur atoms. In II, III and IV the spatial distributions already suggested sp3 hybridisation of the nitrogen atoms. In I gradual differences between the E/Z and Z/Z oriented NtBu groups were visualised. The charge density distribution was analysed along the bond paths, which showed some of the S,N bonds to be considerably bent. In the central part of the thesis detailed topological analyses of the electron density distributions were performed. All BCPs and the related electronical properties as the electron density, the negative Laplacian, the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix, and several values, which can be deduced from these, were calculated. Due to the low number of comparable published compounds, internal scaling facilitated by III and IV led to system-specific ranking of the S-N and S-C bonds in terms of bond type (shared vs. closed shell), bond order, and bond strength. To quantify bond polarisation a criterion was developed which relates shifts in the BCPs to electron transfer from the electropositive to the electronegative bonding partner. The distributions of the Laplacian were determined for all S-E (E = N, C) bonds because of their fundamental importance for the classification of atomic interactions. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of the negative Laplacian with respect to all important bonds was determined around the central sulfur and nitrogen atoms. The analyses led to detailed information about the S,N interactions. A calculation of the reactive surfaces where the Laplacian equals zero revealed possible reaction pathways of nucleophilic attacks to the central sulfur atoms. All nitrogen atoms in H(NtBu)2SMe (III) as well as in CH2{S(NtBu)2(HNtBu)}2 (IV) are predominantly sp3 hybridised. The S,N bonds should therefore be formulated as S+–N– single bonds, strengthened and shortened by electrostatic reinforcement. In S(NtBu)2 (I) the sp2 hybridisation of the nitrogen atoms was verified. All topological criteria unearthed the inequality of the formally equivalent S=N double bonds. The differences were assigned to the molecular E/Z conformation in the solid state. Interaction between the in-plane lone-pair density of the nitrogen and the sulfur atom located at the same side causes the non-bonding charge concentration at the sulfur atom to be dislocated into the second S–N bond. The existence of a delocalised 3-centres-2-electrons system within the planar SN2 core was assumed to be formed by non-hybridised p-orbitals. An effective delocalisation was found to be possibly disturbed by a weak intermolecular S...S interaction. The interpretation of the S,N interaction in S(NtBu)3 (II) was not straightforward, since the electron density distribution showed both, indicators for multiple bonding as well as for sp3 hybridisation of the nitrogen atoms, which verifies the formulation of a S+–N– bonding mode. The bonding situation in S(NtBu)3 was identified as an intermediate state between that of a delocalised 4-centres-6-electrons system formed by non-hybridised p-orbitals within the planar SN3 unit and that of a S+–N– system.
