title: Ethenedithione (S=C=C=S): trapping and isomerization in a cobalt complex.
abstract: Swing bridge: The triplet species ethenedithione has been generated within the coordination sphere of cobalt, leading to a dinuclear μ-η(2)-η(2)-C(2)S(2) complex (see picture: C gray, Co blue, P purple, S yellow). Depending on the solvent, the C(2)S(2) moiety displays a transoid or a cisoid geometry. This isomerization step changes the sign of the magnetic coupling between the cobalt centers.
