Transition Metal Complexes of N-Carboethoxy-4-toluenethioamide

Reaction of N-carboethoxy-4-toluenethioamide (CTTH) with a variety of transition metal ions leads to the formation of M(II) (CTT) 2 (M = Ni, Co, Cu, Ru, Pd and Pt). Ru(III) and Rh(III) form Ru(CTT) 3 and Rh(CTT) (CTTH)Cl 2 , whereas Co(II) and Ni(II) in the presence of pyridine give M(II) (CTT) 2 Py (M = Ni, and Co). All metal complexes have been characterised on the basis of analytical, conductivity, spectroscopic and magnetic measurements studies.
