Structural Factors Governing the Formation of Extended Structures in Group 10 and 12 Metal-Dithiolenes

A series of metal-dithiolene compounds have been prepared by direct reactions between MCl2·6H2O (M = Ni, Zn) or HgCl2 with HSC6H2X2SH (X = Cl or H) in the presence of a base. The fine-tuning of the...
