Structural studies on di-µ-thiocyanato(N,S)-bis(ligand)diisothiocyanato metal(II)bis(triphenylphosphine)mercury(II) and selenocyanate analogs

Binuclear mixed-metal mixed-ligand monomeric bridged complexes of the type (XCN)2(L)2M(NCX)2Hg(PPh3)2 (M = Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II); L = pyridine, nicotinamide; PPh3 = triphenylphosphine; X = S, Se) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moment, and infrared and electronic spectral studies. In all the complexes, the most likely structure involves pyridine or nicotinamide linked to M and PPh3 to Hg. Total softness calculations have also been made to extend support to the structure of the complexes.
