New precursors to potentially conductive noninteger oxidation state (NIOS) compounds based on metal complexes [ML{sub 2}]{sup n{minus}} [M = Ni, Pd, Pt; L = 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin-2,3-dithiolato (dddt{sup 2{minus}}), 5,7-dihydro-1,4,6-trithiin-2,3-dithiolato (dtdt{sup 2{minus}}), and 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate (dmit{sup 2{minus}}); n=2, 1, 0] have been investigated. The electronic structure of (SMeEt{sub 2})[Pd(dmit){sub 2}]{sub 2} (7) and the possible origin of the metal-insulator transition at 150 K are discussed on the basis of tight-binding band structure calculations.
