Polynuclear mixed-metal thiolate complexes with D-penicillamine
Abstract
Diamagnetic cluster-compounds of composition [M8IM6II{SC(Me)2CH(NH2)CO2}12Cl]5– with M8IM6II= Cu8INi6II, Ag8INi6II, and Ag8IPd6II are structually related to the well characterized Cu8I Cu6II compound so that the MI atoms are trigonally co-ordinated by 3 sulphur atoms and the MII atoms are planar 4-co-ordinated by 2 sulphur and 2 nitrogen atoms.
