COORDINATION-COMPOUNDS OF PD(II) AND PT(II) WITH 3,4,5,6-TETRAHYDRO-2-PYRIMIDINETHIOL

Coordination compounds of Pd(II) and Pt(fi) with 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2- pyrimidinethiol (THPT) of the general formula M(THPT)(4)Cl-2. H2O, whe re M stands for Pd and Pt, have been obtained and characterized by ele mental analysis, X-ray diffraction patterns, derivatography (TG, DTG, DTA), magnetic measurements, and the IR and far-IR spectroscopy. Cryst al and molecular structure of the Pd(THPT)(4)Cl-2. H2O have been deter mined. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with a = 8. 555(2), b = = 14.999(3), c = 23.324(5) Angstrom, beta = 91.05(3)degree s, V = 2532.7(11) Angstrom(3) and Z = 4; space group P2(1)/c. The two compounds have been found to be isostructural.
