On the supramolecular properties of neutral, anionic and cationic cadmium complexes harvested from dithiolate–polyamine binary ligand systems

Three Cd( ii ) complexes [Cd(i-mnt)(DMSO) 2 ] n ( 1 ), {[Cd(i-mnt)pn]·2H 2 O} ( 2 ), and [Cd(i-mnt) 3 ][Cd(tren) 2 ] 2 ( 3 ) harvested from 1,1-dicyanoethylene-2,2-dithiolate (i-mnt 2− ) and polyamine ligand systems have been designed, synthesized and structurally characterized.
