Transition‐Metal Complexes of Malonaldehyde and Dithiomalonaldehyde

Abstract

Planar, sterically undemanding Ni, Pd, and Pt complexes of type 1—useful donor components for CT complexes—have been synthesized from tetraethoxypropane, ethanol, HCl, H2S, and MCl2. The NMR spectra of Pt(ptt)2, 1, M = Pt, X = S, suggest strong electron delocalization. (Figure Presented.) Copyright © 1980 by Verlag Chemie, GmbH, Germany
