Group 12 complexes of 2,6-bis([(2-pyridinylmethyl)thio]methyl)pyridine: Synthesis and characterization by X-ray crystallography and proton NMR

The first solid- and solution-state investigation of all three divalent Group 12 metal ions with a single ligand providing an N3S2 set of donor atoms generated complexes with a similar coiled ligand conformation but metal-dependent differences in ligand reorganization rates in solution.53
