The following palladium and platinum
complexes of the chelating ligands 2-thioamidopyridine (thiopic) and
N-methyl-2-aminomethylpyridine (picmene) have been
prepared and studied: [PdthiopicX2], [PdpicmeneX2], [Pdpicmene2]I2,
[PtthiopicX2], [Ptthiopic(NO2)2],
[Ptthiopic2](ClO4)2,
and [PtpicmeneX2], where X = Cl, Br, I,
SCN.
