“…The metals successfully used in such experiments include zinc (1, 2), cadmium (1, 2), mercury (2), tin (3), lead (3), gallium (4), indium (4), thallium (4), nickel (4), and cobalt (4), to produce the neutral M(SR),, compounds, their adducts, or anionic complexes. We now report the use of these simple experimental techniques in the synthesis of thiolato derivatives of copper(I), silver(I), and gold(I), and a number of neutral adducts with the bidentate ligand 1,lO-phenanthroline.…”
