Complexes of zinc(II), cadmium(II), platinum(II) and palladium(II) with a new polydentate dithiocarbamate ligand, 3-dithiocarboxy-3-aza-5-aminopentanoate (daap-), of the type M(daap)2·nH2O (M = Zn(II), Cd(II), n = 2, or M = Pt(II), Pd(II), n = 0), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV/VIS spectroscopy, as well as magnetic measurements. The spectra of the complexes suggest a bidentate coordination of the daap- ligand to the metal ions via the sulfur atoms of the deprotonated dithiocarbamato group. The fact that under the same experimental conditions its S-methyl ester does not form complexes could be taken as proof of the suggested coordination mode.
