Key Points

The study aims to explore the structural relationships and equilibria in metal dithiolate complexes of Cd and Hg.
Synthesis of dianionic bis(carboxamide)pyridine-supported metal(II) dithiolate complexes.
Comparison of isostructural coordination with a zinc variant.
Evaluation of the effects of ionic radius on coordination geometry.
Cd2+ and Hg2+ complexes exhibited isostructural coordination to the zinc complex.
Notable geometric distortion occurred due to the differences in ionic radii between metals.
Different structural characteristics were observed in the three metal complexes.

Implication

Experimental analysis demonstrates metal-dependent equilibria in dithiolate complexes, indicating structural variations based on ionic radius.

Abstract

Dianionic bis(carboxamide)pyridine-supported metal(II) dithiolate complexes of Cd 2+ and Hg 2+ showed isostructural [N 3 S 2 ] coordination to a previously reported zinc variant, but changes in ionic radius resulted in distortion of the coordination...
