The thermal decomposition of the chelate Cd( n -BuOCS 2 ) 2 ( I ) in EtOH and DMF, either in the absence or in the presence of Ph 3 P, yields finely disperse CdS particles. Mixed-ligand complex Cd(Ph 3 P)( n -BuOCS 2 ) 2 ( II ) has been synthesized. Cd(Ph 3 P)( n -BuOCS 2 ) 2 · Ph 3 P ( III ) single crystals have been grown. By X-ray crystallography, the crystal structure of III is built of [Cd(Ph 3 P)( n -BuOCS 2 ) 2 ] mononuclear complex molecules and uncoordinated Ph 3 P molecules, which reside inside channels formed by complex II molecules. The coordination polyhedron around a Cd atom is a tetragonal pyramid where the base is formed by the four S atoms of the two bidentate chelating ligands n -BuOCS 2 − and the P atom of the Ph 3 P ligand is at the axial vertex. In the structure of III , there are supramolecular assemblies of two complex II molecules.
