The electronic and vibrational spectra of NiII and PdII complexes with thiobenzamide, L, are discussed. L acts as a sulphur donor ligand. The PdII compounds and (NiL4)(ClO4)2 are square planar. PdL2Cl2 has acis-structure, while PdL2X2 (X=Br or I) istrans; NiL4Cl2 istrans-octahedral. The i.r. bands due toν(M.S) andν(MX) have been assigned. The influence of the anions on the properties of the complexes, both in solution and in the solid state, is discussed.
