Electron spin resonance spectra of the one-electron-reduction products of stannic chloride adducts of bis(dithiooxalato)nickelate(II), -palladate(II), and -platinate(II) complexes

Abstract

Stannic chloride forms 1:l and 1:2 adducts with bis(di-thiooxalato)nickel(II) and bis(dithiooxalato)palladium(II) anionic complexes, [M(S2Cz02)2]2-, M = Ni, Pd, and a crystal structure determination for the 1:2 adduct of the nickel com-plex ( I ) showed tha t the SnC1, molecules are coordinated to the a-diketone oxygen atoms of the dithiooxalate ligands, which are themselves S-bonded to nickel as in the parent bis(dithiooxa1ato) complex. The coordination about Ni is square planar and that about S n is octahedral.
