A new bicadmium(??) complex [Cd2L](ClO4)2?1.25H2O (C28H35Cd2Cl4N6O13.25) was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction and ES mass spectral analyses. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 15.630(3), b = 15.990(3), c = 16.330(3) ?, α = 89.90(3), β = 68.87(3), γ = 87.94(3)o, V = 3804.1(13) ?3, Mr = 1034.22, Z = 4, F(000) = 2060, Dc = 1.806 g/cm3, T = 293(2) K, μ = 1.468 mm-1 and λ = 0.71073 ?. The structure was refined to R = 0.0779 and wR = 0.1960 for 7034 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).
A new mononuclear cadmium（Ⅱ） cryptate has been synthesized by [2＋3] Schiff base condensation of tri（2-aminoethyl）amine with glyoxal in the presence of Cd（ClO4）2·6H2O. The crystal structure, spectral characterization and molar conductivity show that cadmium（Ⅱ） is sixcoordinated （N6） into a distorted octahedral geometry.
The title compound has been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and FT-Raman spectra, and thermal analysis. The crystal and molecular structures of bis（N＇-ethyl-N-piperazinly-carbodithioato-S,S＇） nickel（Ⅱ） complex （Ni（S2CNC4H8NC2H5）2） were determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystal crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group PI^- with a = 0.66770（15）, b = 0.85066（12）, c = 0.8973（2） nm,α= 84.97（2）, β =78.71（2）,γ= 80.12（2）°, Mr = 437.34, V= 0.49160（17） nm^3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.477 g/cm^3, F（000） = 230, R = 0.0422 and wR = 0.1290. In the structure, the central Ni atom is coordinated in a slightly distorted square plane by four S atoms from two bidentate S2CNC4H8NC2H5 ligands with the four Ni-S bond distances in the range of 0.22065（10）～0.22076（9） nm. The IR and FT-Raman spectral data are in agreement with the structural data. Thermal analysis indicates that the title compound decomposes completely at the temperature of 799.88℃, leaving NiS.
