Group 12 Element Compounds Zn, Cd, Hg

Sodium thiocarboxylates readily react with zinc salts such as ZnCl2 or Zn(N03)2 in aqueous solution to give the thiocarboxylato zinc complexes 64, possessing two crystallizing H2O molecules [271]. Reaction of thiocarboxylic acid with diethyl zinc in the presence of lutidine has been found to give the adduct Zn(RCOS)2(L)2 (L=3,5-lutidine) 65 in good yields [249]. Anionic thiocarboxylato complexes 66 (M=Zn) have also been isolated from the reaction of 

Three preparation methods for aromatic mercury bis(thiocarboxylates) have been reported (1) reaction of HgCl2-4H20 with Na(RCOS) [271] (2) insertion 

322] and 69 (M=K,M =Hg) [50] of mercury were prepared using triethylam-monium, sodium or potassium thiocarboxylates, and mercury dichloride, and their structures are characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis [270,322,
