The molecular structures of nine transition metal tetrazolethiolates have been determined by X‐ray structure determinations. The ligand is invariably coordinated through its sulfur atom to the metal center [M = Pd II , Cu I , Ag I , Au I , Au III , and Hg]. The M−S−C bond angles vary considerably, but this cannot be correlated with variations in the C−S bond lengths. Intermolecular association occurs for Ph 3 PAu(SCN 4 Me) via Au−S contacts, leading to dimeric strands in the solid state. The copper compound (Ph 3 P) 3 Cu 4 (SCN 4 Me) 4 ( 5 ), possesses a rather asymmetric structure: one Cu atom is tricoordinated by 3 sulfur atoms, the other three are tetracoordinated by P and N as well as by S atoms.
