On the other hand, the reaction of several dithiolenes with bipyridyl and related ligands was shown47-49 to lead to dithiolato complexes of the type (32) and (33), in which the nitrogen-containing ligands have displaced one of the dithiolene ligands. The related bis-ammine complex (NH3)2Pd(mnt) was the first dithiolato complex to be isolated.16... 

The period under discussion has seen intense interest in the recently discovered i7 -H2 complexes. The relevance of these to some isomerization reactions of square-planar complexes was reported in Volume 5 of this series, and is covered in another recent review. " More of these fluxional ds-dihydridoplatinum compounds have been reported, and the role of 17 -H2 derivatives in oxidative additions to d rhodium(I) and iridium(I) has been discussed. The increasing role of theoretical and bonding studies is reflected in four works relevant to 4-and 5-coordinate molecules. Electronic structure is related to chemical reactivity in the reactions of phosphine bases with d bis(l,l-dithiolato)platinum com-plexes. Huckel calculations on the reactions of bis(nitrogen donor) ligands with 16-electron platinum(II) complexes have been carried out, as has more work on symmetry selection rules for isomerization reactions, which includes pseudorotation of 5-coordinate complexes and square-planar to tetrahedral conversions of 4-coordinate molecules. ...
