%X The large nephelauxetic effect and low ligand field strength produced by the dithiocacodylate group [(CH3)2AsS2-] in complexes with Ni2+, Co2+, and Cr3+ is explained in terms of significant covalency of the metal- sulphur bonds. The Mn2+ compound, however, has properties consistent with considerable ionic character.     The electronic spectrum and magnetic behaviour of bisdithiocacodylato-cobalt(II) can be better interpreted in terms of tetrahedral rather than octahedral CoSx microsymmetry. On the other hand, the Ni2+ compound is square-planar and both the Mn2+ and Cr3+ compounds appear to be octahedrally coordinated by sulphur atoms.
