... kyl/alkylene dithiophosphate in absolute methanol at room temperature.The complexes were characterized by their analytical data, IR, 1H and 31p NMR spectra. Ligation behaviour of the complexes has been established by reacting them with Cdl2, AgOCOCF 3, AgOCOCCJ3 , AgSCN, HgCI2, Hg(OCOCCI3)2, Hg(OCOCF3)2 and Hg(SCN)2• The bimetallic adducts were formed through the coordination of the sulfur atom of phenylmercury(I)) 0, 0 -dialkyllalkylene dithiophosphate to the soft metal acceptors.
