title: Cd, Hg, and Pb Compounds of Benzene-1,3-diamidoethanethiol (BDETH(2)).
abstract: Benzene-1,3-diamidoethanethiol (BDETH2) is an exceptional precipitant for removing soft heavy metals from water. The present work will detail the bonding arrangement of BDETH2 to the metals Cd, Hg, and Pb, along with the full characterization data of the BDET-M compounds. It was found that the Hg compound has a linear S-M-S geometry. The characterization data consisted of Mp, EA, IR, Raman, MS, XANES, EXAFS, and solid-state multinuclear NMR.
