Pyridiniodithioacetate and its first stable metal complex

摘要

The crystal structures of pyridiniodithioacetate (pydta) 1 and its first stable metal complex, [Cd(pydta)_2Cl_2] 2, have been determined intermolecular C-H…S hydrogen bonds play a dominant role in determining the molecular packing of both structurs, and 2 is further stabilized by the presence of weak C-H…Cl interactions.
