Crystalline cadmium dialkyl phosphorodithioate complexes: synthesis and structural organization as probed by multinuclear C-13, P-31, and Cd-113 CP/MAS NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction

The cadmium O,O'-dethyl (I) and O,O'-di-sec-butyl phosphorodithioate (II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized in detail by(13)C, P-31, and Cd-113 CP/MAS NMR. X-ray crystallography shows that complex II has a binuclear molecular structure [Cd-2{S2P(O-s-C4H9)(2)}(4)]. For P-31 and Cd-113 NMR signals, the chemical shift anisotropy delta(aniso) and the asymmetry parameter eta have been calculated. The P-31 NMR signals are assigned to the terminal and bridging ligands in the complexes.
