Electronic spectral studies of dithio- and perthio-carboxylato-nickel(II) complexes

Abstract

The electronic spectra of a large series of nickel(II) complexes containing dithio- and perthio-carboxylate ligands have been measured and correlation of these spectra with known structures made. The spectra of adducts formed between these complexes and pyridine are reported. A general spectral comparison is made of the dithio- and perthio-carboxylate complexes with those containing dialkylphosphorodithioates, xanthates, and dithiocarbamates.
