The thioether-functionalized, water-soluble, bis(phosphines) (HOH{sub 2}C){sub 2}PCH{sub 2}CH{sub 2}S(CH{sub 2}){sub 3}SCH{sub 2}CH{sub 2}P(CH{sub 2}OH){sub 2} (9) and C{sub 6}H{sub 4}(1,2-SCH{sub 2}CH{sub 2}P(CH{sub 2}OH){sub 2}){sub 2}(10) were synthesized in near quantitative yields by the formylation of the appropriate phosphine hydrides in the presence of formaldehyde in ethanol. The reactions of 9 and 10 with Pt(COD)Cl{sub 2} an Pd(C{sub 6}H{sub 5}CN){sub 2}Cl{sub 2} in biphasic media (aqueous/organic) produced the water-soluble Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes [Pt(HOH{sub 2}C){sub 2}P(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}S(CH{sub 2}){sub 3}S(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}P(CH{sub 2}OH){sub 2}](Cl){sub 2} (11), [Pd(HOH{sub 2}C){sub 2}P(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}S(CH{sub 2}){sub 3}S(CH{sub 2}){sub 2{minus}}P(CH{sub 2}OH){sub 2}](Cl){sub 2} (12), [Pt((C{sub 6}H{sub 4})(1,2-S(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}P(CH{sub 2}OH){sub 2}){sub 2})](Cl){sub 2} (13), and [Pd((C{sub 6}H{sub 4})(1,2-S(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}P(CH{sub 2}OH){sub 2}){sub 2})](Cl){sub 2} (14) in near quantitative yields. The X-ray crystal structure of 12 confirms a square-planar Pd(II) structure for this new generation of water-soluble transition metal complexes. All of the complexes were characterized by MS, H, C, and P NMR spectroscopy. X-ray data for 12: triclinic, P1, a = 9.9761(6) {angstrom}, b = 10.2049(7) {angstrom}, c = 11.6954(7) {angstrom}, a = 67.730(10){degrees}, {beta} = 69.943(10){degrees}, {gamma} = 79.828(10){degrees}, Z = 2, R = 0.0307 (R{sub w} = 0.0797).
