However, in the corresponding reactions of the same neutral th~ophosphate esters with AICI3, MCI 2 (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn) or MI (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs), the initially formed M(detp) n or M(dbtp) n complexes are attacked by the HX (X = Cl or I) by-product of the reaction, and the resulting products undergo condensation reactions, yielding H2S and metal complexes with pyrothiophosphato ligands (i.e., (O2P(OR)-S-(RO)PO2)2-, where R = C2H5, n-C4H9, or (O2P(O)-S-(O)PO2)4-) as final products (4). Thus, reaction of AICI3 with tbtp led to the precipitation of AI2(O2P(O-n-C4H9)-S-(n-C4HgO)PO2)3°xH20,_ while, during the corresponding reaction with tetp, an A13+ pyrothiophosphato complex, not sufficiently pure for characterization, was isolated (4). On the other hand, synthetic studies of tetp adducts with metal perchlorates, with triethyl orthoformats as preparation medium, revealed that authentic tetp adducts with A13+, Cr3+, Fe3+, Co2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg 2+ and AE + perchlorates can he isolated (5); nevertheless, the interaction of tetp with Ni2+ and Cu2+ perchlorates, under similar conditions, led to the precipitation of ~ t p complexes of the types Ni(detp)(CiO4).3H20 and Cu2(detp)(CiO4)3-4H20 (5,6). The latter two products are believed to a r i l l psrchlorate-tetp

metal halidee (M : Li+, Na+, K+, RB+, Cs+, A13+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, etc.), owing to attack of the detp ligands by the hydrogen halide by-product of the r e a c t i o n ( 4 ) , might be easy t o s y n t h e s i z e by r e a c t i n g t e t p with the c o r r e s ponding metal p e r c h l o r a t e s .
