Abstract
But-3-enyl butyl sulphide forms chelate complexes of general formula [PdX2,L](X = Cl or Br) and [PtX2,L](X = Cl, Br, or l); and n-butyl pent-4-enyl sulphide forms chelate complexes of formula [PtX2,L](X = Cl, Br, or l), in which co-ordination to the metal occurs through both the olefinic double bond and the sulphur atom. These complexes react with unidentate ligands such as p-toluidine and triphenylphosphine, the entire chelate ligand being replaced in each case. 1,2-Dibut-3-enylthioethane and 1,2-dipent-4-enylthioethane form chelate complexes of general formula [MX2,L](M = Pd, Pt, or Hg; X = Cl, Br, or I) in which co-ordination to the metal occurs only through the sulphur atoms. The complexes with all four ligands are non-conducting in nitrobenzene. Infrared spectra are recorded and structures of the complexes are discussed.
