The reaction of ethanolic solutions of Na2(S-S) with or (PPN)24 gives and (PPN)2, respectively.The tin derivative with 1,3-dithiol-2-thione-4,5-dithiolate (dmit), , is obtained by reaction of with (NEt4)2.The tin and zinc complexes further react with the gold(III) derivatives cis- giving rise to dithiolate gold(III) complexes .The structure of has been established by an X-ray diffraction stud y, and shows a square-planar coordination of the gold with the dithiolate chelating.Keywords: Gold; Tin; Zinc; Dithiolate complexes; Synthesis; X-ray structure
