The chemistry of binuclear palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes

Crystal structure of bis(triphenylphospine-kP)-dichloropalladium( II) —acetonitrile (1:1), [PdCl2(C18H15P)2] · CH3CN

“…This field has becomem ultidisciplinary in nature encompassing areasl ikeo rganic synthesis, catalysis, materials sciencea nd photo-physicalc hemistry [1][2][3][4]. Ar ange of crystal structures have been reported for trans-dichloro-bis(triphenylphosphine) palladium(II) complexes, with or without as olvent molecule [5][6][7][8][9].…”

Mixed-chalcogenide diplatinum complexes; an investigation of ligand exchange processes using ESI mass spectrometry

“…[4,5] The related selenide complex [Pt2(µ-Se)2(PPh3)4] 2 has been less-intensively studied, [6] but has distinctive reactivity differences compared to its sulfide counterpart. [7,8,9] The chemistry of these complexes, which has been reviewed on a number of occasions, [10,11,12,13] is dominated by their alkylation and arylation reactions with suitable electrophiles, and their reactivity as metalloligands, forming sulfide-bridged multi-metallic complexes. Despite their extensive chemistry, new pathways of reactivity continue to be developed, such as in the reactivity towards a chloropyridinium salt and NH3, resulting in the formation of the novel binuclear platinum µ-amido complex [Pt2(µ-S)(µ-NH2)(PPh3) 4] + .…”

“…The chemistry of palladium(II) complexes is of considerable interest due to their potential applications in organic synthesis, catalysis and photo-physical chemistry [1][2][3]. The ligand mbitH molecule, with one -SH and two potential coordination nitrogen atoms, is excellent in building supramolecular structures [4,5].…”
