A series of novel dinuclear, mixed-ligand complexes having the general formula [M 2 (tpt)(L) 4 ]Cl 4 ÁnH 2 O where M = Ni(II), Co(II) or Cu(II); tpt = 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine; L = dithiooxamide (dto) or thiosemicarbazide (tsc); n = 2 -4, have been synthesized and characterized. The tpt molecule is flexidentate, where it can behave as di-or tridentate dinucleating ligand. The coordination mode of tpt to M(II) apparently occurs through the pyridyl and a triazine nitrogen atoms. All the mixedligand complexes are dinuclear with a bridging tpt molecule and having an octahedral structure. The complexes were characterized by chemical analyses, spectral, molar conductance and thermal studies.
