Abstract

[Cd(R-XA)2]n (XA = xanthate; R = Et, Bu) transformed upon reaction with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) to [Cd(R-XA)2(phen)]. The product with R = Et crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn, while that with R = Bu belongs to the monoclinic system, space group C2/c. In two complexes, adjacent phenanthroline ligands form a layered array due to mutual π-π interactions.
