Reaction of 2-(2′-carboxyphenylazo)-4-methylphenol (H L) with [M(PPh ) Cl ] (M = Pd, Pt) 2 3 2 2 affords mixed-ligand complexes of type [M(PPh3)(L)]. Structures of both the complexes have been deter- mined by X-ray crystallography. Both the complexes are square planar, where the 2-(2′-carboxy- phenylazo)-4-methylphenol is coordinated to the metal center, via dissociation of the two acidic protons, as a dianionic tridentate O,N,O-donor, and the fourth position is occupied by the triphenylphosphine. These complexes show intense MLCT transitions in the visible region. Keywords. 2-(2′-carboxyphenylazo)-4-methylphenol; palladium and platinum complexes; crystal struc- ture; spectral properties. 1.
