Zn(II) Complexes with Aliphatic Thiolates. (Et4N)[Zn(SAd)3] and (Et4N)2[{Zn(ScHex)2}2(μ-ScHex)2]

Abstract

Abstract New homoleptic aliphatic thiolato complexes with Zn(II), (Et4N)[Zn(SAd)3] (1) (HSAd = 1-adamantanethiol), and (Et4N)2[{Zn(ScHex)2}2(μ-ScHex)2] (2) (HScHex = 1-cyclohexanethiol), have a novel three-coordinate geometry for monomeric 1 and a tetrahedral geometry for dimeric 2, respectively. The complexes have been fully characterized by far-IR, Raman, and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy.
