Abstract: Mononuclear complexes (Bu4N)2 [Cd(mnt)2], (Bu4N)2 [M(dmit)2](M=Cd, Zn) and binuclear complex (Me4N)2 [Zn2(Sph)2(S2TTF(SCH2)2)2] were synthesized by cluster-cracking reaction from precursors 2 [M4(SPh)10] and 4 [S4M10(SPh) 16](M=Cd, Zn). The net charge on mercapto sulfurs of these dithiolate ligands was calculated by the methods of quantum chemistry PM3 and resulted in the order: mnt 2->SPh ->dmit 2-> [(MeS)2TTFS2]2-≈ [(CH2S)2TTFS2]2-. Based on these theoretical and experimental results, the relationship between the charge on mercapto sulfurs and the reaction products was discussed.
