Cadmium(II) complexes of thiones and thiocyanate, [(4C¼S) 2 Cd(SCN) 2 ], have been prepared and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. An upfield shift in the 4C¼S resonance of thiones in the 13 C NMR and downfield shift in N-H resonance in 1 H NMR are consistent with sulfur coordination to cadmium(II). The presence of (N-H) of thiones in IR spectra of the complexes indicates the thione forms of the ligands in the solid state; some contribution of the thiolate form was observed in one complex. The appearance of a band around 2100 cm À1 in IR and a resonance around 132 ppm in 13 C NMR indicates the binding of thiocyanate to cadmium(II).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
