Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Bis(diallydithiocarbamato)zinc(II) and Silver(I) Complexes: Precursors for Zinc Sulfide and Silver Sulfide Nanophotocatalysts.

ABSTRACT: We report the preparation and crystal structures of bis(diallydithiocarbamato)zinc(II) and silver(I) complexes. The compounds were used as single-source precursors to prepare zinc sulfide and silver sulfide nanophotocatalysts. The molecular structure of bis(diallydithiocarbamato)zinc(II) consists of a dimeric complex in which each zinc(II) ion asymmetrically coordinates with two diallydithiocarbamato anions in a bidentate chelating mode, and the centrosymmetrically related molecule is bridged through the S-atom that is chelated to the adjacent zinc(II) ion to form a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the zinc(II) ions. The molecular structure of bis(diallydithiocarbamato)silver(I) formed a cluster complex consisting of a trimetric Ag₃S₃ molecule in which t
