Abstract

Cadmium(II) complexes of Imidazolidine-2-selenone (ImSe) and its derivatives have been prepared with the general formula Cd(RImSe) 2Cl2 (where R = Me, Et, Pr, etc.). These complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR (1H, 13C, 77Se and 113Cd) spectroscopy. An upfield shift in C=Se resonance of selenones in 13C NMR and in 77Se and high-frequency shifts in N-H resonances in 1H are consistent with the selenium coordination to Cd(II). The 77Se nucleus in Cd(ImSe) 2Cl2 is shielded by 38 ppm on coordination, relative to the free ligand. The principal components of the 77Se, 113Cd and 13C shielding tensors for the complexes were determined from solid-state NMR data. Large selenium chemical shift anisotropies were observed for these complexes.
