Synthesis and Characterization of the Complexes of S3N3Cl3 with ThCl4 under Varying Conditions

Abstract

The complexes of S₃N₃CI₃ with ThCl₄ were synthesised at
normal and high temperature and pressure. Their chemical data
have assigned these complexes C₁ and C₂ respectively as
S₃N₃CI₃·ThCI₄, and trimer (S₃N₃CI₃·ThCI₄)₃ out of which the
former has hexadentated Th⁴⁺ while the latter complex has bidentated
Th⁴⁺ bridging between S₃N₃CI₃ units. This is supported by
their electronic and EPR spectra which express that these complexes
are of paramagnetic and good conductive nature subsequently with
distorted hexagonal and triclinical geometrical array.
