2-Mercapto-1,3-benzothiazole (mbztH) may act as a chelating or bridging ligand. In this study, reactions of mbztH with Me₃Ga and Me₃In were examined. The products were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analyses, melting point, and molecular weight determinations. Formation of mononuclear chelating complexes Me₂M(mbzt) (M = Ga, In) was observed in solutions. Crystallization of Me₂M(mbzt) yielded uncommon non-symmetrical dinuclear complexes Me₄M₂(mbzt)₂, in which one metal is bonded to two sulfurs and the other to two nitrogens.
