cis-Bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)benzenethiolato-κ2 P,S]palladium(II)

[2-(Diphenylphosphanyl)benzenethiolato-κ2P,S](pyridine-2-thiolato-κS)(triphenylphosphine-κP)palladium(II)

In the title compound, [Pd(C₅H₄NS)(C₁₈H₁₄PS)(C₁₈H₁₅P)], the Pd^II atom has a slightly distorted square-planar environment. Two coordination sites are occupied by a P,S-chelating 2-(diphenyl­phosphan­yl)benzene­thiol­ate ligand and the other two by a P atom from a triphenyl­phosphine ligand and an S atom from a pyridine-2-thiol­ate ligand, exhibiting a trans arrangement of the two P-donor atoms. In the crystal structure, weak intra- and inter­molecular C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions are observed. The pyridyl ring is equally disordered over two positions.

rac-Carbonyl{1-[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]ethanethiolato}(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I)

The title compound, [Rh(C₁₅H₁₆PS)(C₁₈H₁₅P)(CO)], was synthesized from the reaction of the ligand rac-[Ph₂PCH₂CH(CH₃)SH] with trans-[Rh(F)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] in a 1:1 molar ratio in toluene. The Rh atom is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar geometry with the P—S ligand [Ph₂PCH₂CH(CH₃)S] acting as a chelate and the PPh₃ and disordered CO [site occupation factors of 0.61 (5) and 0.39 (5)] ligands completing the coordination.
