Abstract

A series of arylchalcogenolate complexes of cadmium supported by tris(2-mercapto-1-tert-butylimidazolyl)hydroborato ligation, namely [Tm(Bu(t))]CdEAr (EAr = OC(6)H(3)Ph(2), SPh, SePh, TePh), has been synthesized from [Tm(Bu(t))]CdMe; structural characterization by X-ray diffraction indicates that the variation in Cd-EAr bond lengths is similar to that of Zn-EAr and correlates closely with the covalent radius of the chalcogen, in marked contrast to the large variation in M-OAr and M-SAr bond lengths observed for other metals (Zr and Sm).
