Bis[benzyl 3-(3-phenyl-prop-2-enyl-idene)dithio-carbazato-κ(2)N(3),S]cadmium
Abstract:
In the title complex, [Cd(C(17)H(15)N(2)S(2))(2)], the Cd(II) ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and exhibits a coordination number of four within a very distorted coordination environment that is best described as bis-phenoidal. The two deprotonated Schiff base ligands chelate the Cd(II) ion through the azomethine N and the thiol-ate S atom. The dihedral angle between the two chelating ligands is 84.01 (9)°. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯S inter-actions lead to the formation of chains along the c axis.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
