| Abstract: | The structure of the polycrystalline adduct bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)-pyridine zinc(II) depends on the pathway of physico-chemical conditions during the preparation procedure, as was revealed by solid state 15N CP/MAS spectroscopy in good correlation with known single crystal X-ray diffraction structures of this adduct. Two isomorphs of the adduct, namely α-Zn(Py)(S2CNEt2)2] and β-Zn(Py)(S2CNEt2)2], are the two molecules in the asymmetric unit of a single crystal (or polycrystalline) sample that can be obtained by recrystallization from toluene of the equimolar solution of the initial diethyldithiocarbamate zinc(II) complex and pyridine. The third isomorph, γ-Zn(Py)(S2CNEt2)2], can be obtained by recrystallization from pure pyridine of the diethyldithiocarbamate zinc(II) complex, or by its equimolar absorption of pyridine, or by desorption of pyridine from the clathrated adduct, Zn(Py)(S2CNEt2)2]·Py. Finally, the γ-Zn(Py)(S2CNEt2)2] isomorph recrystallizes from the melt into α/β-isomorphs of the adduct. |
