To a CH2Cl2 solution of cis-[Pd(N3)(tmeda)] (0.300 g,
1.142 mmol) was added a solution of PTA (0.359 g, 2.284
mmol) in CH2Cl2 (15 mL). After stirring the mixture for 2 h,
the yellow solid was isolated by filtration, washed with
Et2O, and dried. Yield: 0.496 g, 86%. IR (KBr disk, cm–1) ν

To a suspension of cis-[Pt(N3)2(cod)] (0.100 g, 0.258
mmol) in CH2Cl2 was added PTA (0.081 g, 0.516 mmol).
After stirring for ca. 2 h, the colourless solid was isolated by

X-ray diffraction quality crystals of compounds 3a, 3b,
3d, and 4d·CH2Cl2 were mounted in a cryoloop with a drop
of oil and placed into the cold stream (100 K) of a Bruker
X8 APEX II CCD diffractometer with graphite-
monochromated Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.710 73 Å), con-
trolled by a Pentium-based PC running the SAINT software
package (18). Single crystals were positioned at 40 mm from
the detector and 1843, 2075, 1599, and 4656 frames were
measured, each for 70, 20, 70, and 5 s over 1° scan width for
3a, 3b, 3d, and 4d·CH2Cl2, correspondingly. Crystal data,
data collection parameters, and structure refinement details
for 3a, 3b, 3d, and 4d·CH2Cl2 are given in Table 1. The
structures were solved by direct methods and refined on F2
by full-matrix least-squares techniques using the SHELXTL
software package (19, 20); scattering factors were taken
from the literature (21). The co-crystallized CH2Cl2 mole-
cule in 4d·CH2Cl2 was found disordered over two positions
with site occupation factors 0.61:0.39. The disorder was
solved by using SADI and EADP restraints. All non-
hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement
parameters. Hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated posi-
tions or localized on difference Fourier maps and
isotropically refined. Calculated hydrogen atoms have as-
signed thermal parameters equal to either 1.5 (methyl hydro-
gen atoms) or 1.2 (non-methyl hydrogen atoms) times the
thermal parameters of the atom to which they were attached.
The graphics were prepared by using ORTEP (22).
Preparation of the cycloaddition products
To a suspension of [M(N3)2(PTA)2] (M = Pd, Pt) (25 mg)
in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was added an excess (ca. 0.2 mL) of
RNCS (R = Et, allyl, Me, Ph). The mixture was left to stir
for ca. 18 h at room temperature during which all solid had
dissolved. Et2O was carefully layered onto the solution and
after standing for 2–4 days, crystals could be harvested.
NMR data was obtained by re-dissolving the crystals in a
suitable deuterated solvent. In case of the Pt derivative, the
reaction required much longer time (assessed by the time
taken for 2 to completely dissolve), and crystals were only
obtained when using phenyl isothiocyanate. Using this pro-
cedure the following compounds were prepared.
