Reaction of Fc(S)PS 2 P(S)Fc with NaOEt gives the non symmetric phosphonodithioato anion [Fc(EtO)PS 2 ] ‐ which can be complexed to a range of metal ions. The group 10 metals (Ni, Pd and Pt) adopt [ML 2 ] complexes with square planar coordination. The first known mercury phosphonodithioate complex is shown to adopt a unique dimeric [M 2 L 4 ] structure. A new structural motif for lead phosphonodithioate complexes is reported consisting of [PbL 2 ] units joined by Pb···S interactions to form distinct dimeric pairs. All new compounds have been characterized spectroscopically and four demonstrative X‐ray structures are reported.
