The crystal and molecular structures of the title compounds, 2, (1), 2*CH2Cl2 (2), and HgCl2(LH)2 (3) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques.Crystal of (1) are monoclinic, space group P21/n, a 13.051(2), b 10.183(1), c 18.106(1) Angstroem and β 101.55(8) deg with Z 2; R and Rw were 0.047 and 0.044 respectively for 2320 unique, observed reflections.The unit cell contains two equivalent centrosymmetric, halogen-bridged cadmium dimers.Crystals of (2) are triclinic, space group P, with a 10.668(4), b 14.978(3), c 16.838(4) Angstroem, and α 111.80(2), β 101.03(2), γ 92.06(2) deg with Z 2; R and Rw were 0.069 and 0.067 respectively for 3379 unique observed reflections.The structure shows two independent centrosymmetric halogen-bridged dimers within the unit cell.Crystals of (3) are monoclinic, space group C2/c, a 24.719(6), b 12.247(3), c 26.818(6) Angstroem, and β 94.62(2) deg with Z 8; R and Rw were 0.075 and 0.071 respectively for 2698 unique, observed reflections.The structure shows the complex to be monomeric.In all three compounds the metal is in an approximately tetrahedral environment with the potentially multidentate ligand, LH, coordinating only through the phosphorus atom.The mercury compounds show a much larger deviation from ideal tetrahedral geometry than does the cadmium compound.
