Abstract A study of zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes with isothiocyanate ion has been completed, using a low-temperature, multinuclear magnetic resonance technique that permits the observation of separate resonance signals for bound and free ligand, and Cd(II) metal ion. The Zn2+–NCS− complexes were studied by 1H, 13C, and 15N NMR spectroscopy. In the 1H spectra, the intensity of the coordinated water signal, corresponding to a Zn(II) hydration number of six in the absence of NCS−, decreases dramatically as this anion is added, indicating the complexing process involves more than a simple 1:1 ligand replacement. The 13C and 15N NMR spectra reveal signals for four species, most reasonably assigned to a series of tetrahedrally coordinated Zn2+–NCS− complexes. In the Cd2+–NCS− solution spectra, the 13C and 15N signals for four complexes also are observed and they are three line patterns, corresponding to a doublet from 113Cd J-coupling, and a dominant central peak, resulting from bonding to magnetically inactive Cd isotopes. The 113Cd spectra, showing signals for four complexes, correlate well in all respects with the 13C and 15N results, including coupling in specific cases. The spectral results for both metal ions reflect binding at the nitrogen atom of NCS−, with the complexes changing from an octahedral to a tetrahedral configuration when doing so. Confirming evidence for these conclusions also was provided by several infrared measurements of these metal–ion systems.
