The manganese(II)‐palladium(II)‐sulfide complex [MnCl2(μ3‐S)2Pd2(dppp)2] (2) was prepared from the reaction of [PdCl2(dppp)] with [Li(N,N'‐tmeda)]2[Mn(SSiMe3)4] (2) in a 2:1 ratio under mild conditions. The new trimethylsilylthiolate complex [Pd(dppp)(SSiMe3)2] (3) was synthesized from the reaction of [Pd(dppp)(OAc)2] with two equivalents of Li[SSiMe3]; this was then used in a reaction with [Mn(CH3CN)2(OTf)2] to form the manganese(II)‐palladium(II)‐sulfide cluster [Mn(OTf)(thf)2(μ3‐S)2Pd2(dppp)2]OTf (4).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
