Abstract Simple palladium (II) and platinum (II) complexes, ML 2 (1–2), of N-phenyl-(2- thiazoyl) thiourea have been prepared and fully characterized. The structure of Pd (S 2 N 3 C 10 H 8) 2 (1) is monoclinic P 2 1/c, a= 12.510 (2), b= 5.6963 (6), c= 15.322 (2) Å, b= 90.07 (2) o and Pt (S 2 N 3 C 10 H 8) 2 (2) is orthorhombic P2 1 2 1 2 1, a= 7.3021 (5), b= 11.8025 (9), c= 25.628 (2) Å. In both complexes the ligands bind in a chelate fashion through the ...
