“…The desired palladium complex 3(Pd) was prepared by a treatment of Pd(AcO) 2 the polymeric structures, e.g., found in PtCl 2 , gave low yields of the products [6,8]. Therefore, a discrete complex, Pt(PhCN) 2 Cl 2 , was used for the preparation of 2(Pt) [6]. For the preparation of Pd complexes, treatments of such discrete metal sources, e.g., Pd(PhCN) 2 Cl 2 , were also reported [9].…”
