Synthesis, X-ray crystal structures and properties of complex salts and sterically crowded heteroleptic complexes of group 10 metal ions with aromatic sulfonyl dithiocarbimates and triphenylphosphine ligand

The synthesis, characterization, conducting and photoluminescent properties of two new complex salts and four cis- and one trans-heteroleptic complexes of Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) with aromaticsulfonyldithiocarbimate and triphenylphosphine ligands are reported. The rare C-H⋯Pd anagostic interactions via ortho-proton of one of the PPh3 ligands is detected by X-ray crystallography.
