Abstract
Abstract Post-transition elements react with ligands, triphenylphosphine sulphide or selenide (Ph3PS or Ph3PSe), tri-p-tolylphosphine sulphide or selenide (T3PS or T3PSe) and 1,3-trimethylenebis-(diphenylphosphine sulphide or selenide) (PDPS or PDPSe) in suitable organic solvents forming complexes of compositions: MX2. L(M = Zn, X = I, L = all except Ph3PS: M = Cd, X = I, L = T3PS, T3PSe, M = Hg, L = T3PSe, X = Cl, Br, I); ZnI2·2Ph3PS, Hg(NO3)2·2Ph3PS, CdBr2·3T3PSe and 3Hg(NO3)2·4Ph3PSe. All these have been characterized through elemental analyses, ir spectra (4000−200 cm−1) and molar conductance (nitrobenzene). Complexes are essentially nonelectrolytes. Tetrahedral structures have been assigned to all except a 1 : 3 complex which has been assigned a bridged octahedral structure.
