Transition-metal complexes of NNN′N″N‴N‴-hexamethyl-3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-diamine. Part II. Zinc(II), cadmium(II), and mercury(II) halides

Abstract

A series of compounds of the types M(trien)X₂ and [M₂′(trien)X₄](where trien =NNN′N″N‴N‴-hexamethyl-3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-diamine; M′= Zn^II; X = Cl, Br, I; M = Zn^II; X = I; M = Cd^II; X = Cl, Br, I; M = Hg^II; X = Cl, Br; M′= Hg^II; X = I) have been prepared and studied by means of i.r. and far-i.r. spectroscopy, conductivity and molecular weight measurements. Structures for these compounds are suggested.
