The complexation of manganese (II), cobalt (II) and zinc(II) with thiocyanate ions has been studied in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) by calorimetry and spectrophotometry at 298 K. In these metal systems the formation of a series of four isothiocyanato complexes, [M(NCS) n ] (2-n)+  (n = 1÷4; M = Mn, Co, and Zn) was established, and their formation constants, enthalpies and entropies were determined. Interestingly, the complexation behavior in DMA is significantly different from that in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), despite of the similarity of the physicochemical properties of these solvents. The complexation is indeed enhanced significantly in DMA over DMF and is more exothermic in the former solvent. Furthermore, with cobalt(II) an octahedral to tetrahedral coordination geometry change was found to occur in DMA at an earlier step of complexation than in DMF. These results suggest that six-coordination of DMA molecules to a metal ion is severely sterically hindered.
