NEW MX2 OXALATO POLYNUCLEAR ADDUCTS (M = Cd, Hg, Zn; X = Cl, Br): SYNTHESIS AND INFRARED STUDY

Abstract

Nine mono-, di- and trinuclear MX2 oxalato adducts have been synthesized, their infrared study carried out. The suggested structures are ionic, the oxalate anion behaving as a chelating ligand. Cage structures, when non symmetrical cations are involved,have been suggested.
