Coordination polymers heterometallic complexes

Platinum (260-262) and palladium (262,263) complexes have been incorporated into dendrimeric materials. Polymers incorporating both platinum and palladium units coordinated to bipyridine ligands have been reported by Pudde-phatt and co-workers (114) (262). These dendrimers were prepared via oxidative addition of a C—Br bond to a platinum complex, giving the core molecule. Further reaction with platinum or palladium complexes resulted in the homo- or heterometallic materials, respectively.
