In the title compound, C(14)H(12)ClN(3)OS, the short exocyclic N-C bond lengths indicate resonance in the thiourea part of the mol-ecule. The title compound is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond, which results in the formation of a six-membered ring. In addition, it shows a synperiplanar conformation between the thio-carbonyl group and the pyridine group. Inter-molecular N-H⋯S...

Reactions of chloro bridged complexes with R-3-(3-pyridyl)alanine afford the chelate complexes LnM[NH2CH(CO2)CH2C5H4NH+]Cl− (LnM = Ph3P(Cl)Pd, (tol3P)(Cl)Pd, (Ph-pyridyl)2Ir, Cp∗(Cl)Rh, Cp∗(Cl)Ir, (p-Cymol)(Cl)Ru) with protonated pyridine substituents. An analogous Cp∗Rh complex with 3-(2-pyridyl)alaninate was also obtained. Addition of base (NaOMe) to these complexes gives dimeric and trimeric...
