Three molecular sulfido complexes containing a Cd-S-Sn structure motive, [{(tmeda)Cd}3(SnPh)2S6] (1), [{(tmeda)Cd}2(SnPh2)2S4] (2) and [{(iPr3P)Cd}3Cd4(SnPh2)6S13] (3), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. So far, 2 is the first cadmium tin sulfido complex soluble in common organic solvents. Analysis by 113Cd and 119Sn NMR spectroscopy shows a slow rearrangement in solution, while spin coupling between the nuclei can be used to identify the species in solution. Thermolysis of 2 results in CdS and SnS as solid thermolysis products.
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.
