J. Pickardt et J. Shen, METAL-COMPLEXES WITH 1,4,7-TRITHIACYCLONO NANE - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURES OF [CDI2.C6H12S3]2 AND [HG(C6H12S3)2](HGI3)2, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 48(7), 1993, pp. 969-972
Crystals of the complexes [CdI2.C6H12S3]2 (1) and [Hg(C6H12S3)2](HgI3)
, (2) were obtained by diffusion of 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane (9S3) in
ethanol into aqueous solutions of cadmium iodide and mercuric iodide/p
otassium iodide, resp. Both compounds crystallize monoclinically, 1: s
pace group P2(1)/n, Z = 4, a = 1207.1(5), b = 909.9(2), c = 1240.3(7)
pm, beta = 92.59(9)-degrees; 2: P2(1)/c, Z = 2, a = 804.7(6), b = 934.
0(6), c = 2167.9(4) pm, beta = 94.34(7)-degrees. 1 is dimeric, consist
ing of two [CdI2 . 9 S 3] units, connected via iodine bridges. Crystal
s of 2 contain sandwich-like cations [Hg(9S3)2]2+ and [HgI3]- anions,
forming chains via Hg ... S and Hg ... I bridges.
