The reactions of anhydrous metal chlorides MCl2 [M = Co(II), Zn(II), Pd(II)] with aziridines (az) in CH2Cl2 at r. t. in a 1 : 5 molar ratio afforded the bis(aziridine)dichloro complexes M(az)2Cl2. After purification, all complexes were fully characterized. The solid state structures were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction, and showed tetrahedral coordination geometries for the Co(II) and Zn(II) centers and trans-configurated square planar geometries for Pd(II).
