This review summarises the coordination chemistry of the isomeric 3- and 4-mercaptobenzoate ligands, derived from HSC6H4COOH, being isomers of the widely-studied 2-mercaptobenzoate (thiosalicylate) ligand. The 3- and 4-mercaptobenzoate ligands show a wide range of coordination modes, including mo...
