Abstract

The ligand 2-mercapto-3, 5-di-tert-butylaniline, H [LAP], an o-aminothiophenol, reacts with metal (II) salts of Ni and Pd in CH3CN or C2H5OH in the presence of NEt3 under strictly anaerobic conditions with formation of beige to yellow cis-[MII (LAP) 2](M= Ni (1), Pd (2)) where (LAP) 1-represents the o-aminothiophenolate (1-) form. The crystal structure of cis- [PdII (LAP) 2][HN (C2H5) 3][CH3CO2] has been determined by X-ray crystallography. In ...
