Complexes of organometallic compounds XXXIII. The coordination chemistry of dimethyl and diphenylthallium(III) ith tridentate ligands

Summary Several novel complexes Na[Me 2 TIL] and Na[Ph 2 TIL] (L 2− =dianion tridentate ligands with S, N, and O donor atoms) were synthesized, and investigated by infrared spectroscopy in the solid state, and by electronic and PMR spectroscopy in solution. Suggestions for the configuration of the complex anions are advanced and the nature of species present in solution is discussed.
