“…The IR spectrum of 1 shows the characteristic asymmetric P-N-P stretching at ν asym = 1161 cm −1 and the P-S stretching at ν = 569 cm −1 . These values are matching well with those reported for [Pd(κ-S,S )-{N(SPPh 2 ) 2 } 2 ] (ν asym,P−N−P = 1161 cm −1 , ν P−S = 571 cm −1 ) or [Ni-(κ-S,S )-{N(SPPh 2 ) 2 } 2 ] (ν asym,P−N−P = 1150 cm −1 , ν P−S = 565 cm −1 ) [12,21]. However, it is not possible to discriminate the two different coordinating ligands by the obtained IR data.…”
