Abstract
We have utilized the possibility of altering the ratio of reactants to result in tetrahedral anions, [M(SC{O}Me)nCl4-n]2- (n=3, 4) and [Cd2Cl2(SC{O}Me)4]2-. Complexes of the formula [Ph4P]2[M(SC{O}Me)4] (M=Zn(II) (1), Cd(II) (2) or Hg(II) (3)) were synthesized by the reaction of thioacetate ligand with the metal salts and Ph4PCl in 4:1:2 molar ratio in suitable solvents. The geometry of Zn(II) in 1 is nearly tetrahedral and the distortion in tetrahedron increases in the order of 1
