Phase sensitive, 1H 2D NOESY measurements have been made on a variety of N,N′‐dimethylbenzylamine cyclopalladated complexes with coordinated ligands having pendant CH moieties. For 8‐methylquinoline and benzo [h] quinoline it can be shown that the quinoline‐methyl and benzoquinoline CH‐10 moieties, respectively, reside in a pseudo fifth coordination position above the square planar complex. This information arises primarily from NOEs from one NCH3 and H3′, the proton ortho to the PdC bond. Similar NOESY studies have also been carried out for (i) a cyclopalladated aliphatic analog based on Pd(NO3(L){N(CH3)2CH2C (CH3)(OCH3)CH2} and (ii) a cyclopalladated phosphite (C∩oP), of the form Pd(NO3)(L){P(OEt)2OC6H4}. New platinum complexes of the type trans‐[PtCl2L (tertiary phosphine or tertiary arsine)] are presented, and the spin–spin coupling constants from the pendant CH of L to the 195Pt are discussed. Several of these complexes can exist in two geometric forms, i.e., for the phosphite complexes: P trans to N, C trans to O as against P trans to O, C trans to N. A distinction between these isomers is made using the same 1H NOESY spectra that provide information concerned with the pendant CH functions.
