Zinc(II), Cadmium(II), and Mercury(II) Complexes of 2-Methyl-benzoselenazole

The following zinc(II), cadmium(II) and mercury(II) complexes of 2-methyl-benzoselenazole (L) have been prepared and studied by conductometric and i.r. methods: MLX₂ (M ? Cd, Hg, X ? Cl, Br, I), ML_1.5X₂ (M ? Zn, X ? ClO₄(4 H₂O); M ? Hg, X ? NO₃, ClO₄), ML₂X₂ (M ? Zn, X ? Cl, Br, I, NO₃; M ? Cd, X ? NO₃, ClO₄). The ligand is N-bonded. All the anions are coordinated.
