CdK EXAFS, ZnK and CuK EXAFS and XANES spectra were measured for solutions
of cadmium, zinc and copper dialkyldithiocarbamates in organic solvents wit
h varying donating abilities: benzene, pyridine, tributylphosphine and for
some model compounds. The parameters of the local surroundings of the Cd, Z
n and Cu atoms For complex forms in solutions were determined using EXAFS s
pectroscopy. Spatial structure models of the complex forms in a metal chela
te - nonaqueous solvent system are suggested.
