Abstract
Complexes of CoII, NiII, CuII, ZnII, PdII, CdII, HgII and CuI with ethyl-α-(N-phenylthiocarbamyl)cyanoacetate (HETCA) have been synthesized and characterized. The i.r. spectra show that HETCA behaves as a mononegative bidentate ligand, in the thiol tautomeric form. HETCA reduces CuCl2 to give a diamagnetic CuI complex. A tetrahedral structure is proposed for the CoII complex, while a square-planar structure is proposed for the NiII, CuII, and PdII complexes.
