“…19 Eremenko and co-workers 53 ± 60 described complexes of platinum-group metals (Pd and Pt) and Ni with ligands of the ophenylenediamine series. The reactions of o-phenylenediamine 53,54 and its N-methyl 55 and N-phenyl derivatives 53 with alkaline solutions of K 2 MX 4 (M = Pt, Pd; X = Cl, NO 3 ) initially X = NMe2, Bu t , NO2; Tp is hydrotris(3-methyl-5-isopropylphenylpyrazolyl)borate. In earlier studies, 53, 54 these compounds were considered as the M(o-NC 6 H 4 NR) (R = H, Me, Ph) complexes (15b) with anionic quinoneimide ligands.…”
