Cadmium Complexes with Bis(2-pyridylthio)methane Ligand: Structural Data

38.7 KB of XYZ files contain structural data for cadmium complexes synthesized with the bis(2-pyridylthio)methane ligand. The dataset, authored by Daniel G. Shlian and last updated in May 2026, describes compounds including a six-coordinate cadmium dialkyl complex and dimeric cadmium siloxides. It contrasts monomeric and dimeric structures with zinc counterparts, supported by DFT calculations.

Use Cases

• Validate computational models based on reported structural parameters for cadmium complexes.
• Analyze ligand coordination modes (k³ vs. k²) described for the bis(2-pyridylthio)methane ligand.
• Compare dimeric cadmium siloxide structures with their monomeric zinc counterparts as mentioned.
• Study reactivity pathways, such as metathesis and CO₂ insertion, outlined in the synthesis description.

Strengths

• 38.7 KB of specific structural chemistry data.
• Includes DFT calculation results contrasting cadmium and zinc complexes.
• Describes a rare six-coordinate dialkyl cadmium compound.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
