Reactions of imidazolidine-2-thione (Imt), 1,3-diazinane-2-thione (Diaz) and 1,3-diazipane-2-thione (Diap) with Cd(SeCN) 2 in acetonitrile resulted in the formation of 2:1 tetrahedral complexes. Both solid state and solution NMR, confirm the exocyclic thione atom to be the donor in all cases. 113 Cd shielding tensors and anisotropies were calculated from the solid-state NMR spectra. Based on the solid NMR data, a distorted tetrahedral dispositions of ligands around cadmium is proposed for the Imt complex. However, when the Imt ligand is substituted with one or two R groups (where R=Me, Et or i -Pr) forming RImt or R 2 Imt, a five coordinate complex with polymeric structure [(RImt)Cd(SeCN) 2 ] ∞ or [(R 2 Imt)Cd(SeCN) 2 ] ∞ is observed. Antibacterial studies of some of the complexes were carried out.
