Phosphine hydride complexes, mixed

The first mixed-metal cluster of Os-Pd, [Os6Pd(bipy)(CO)i8], was reported in 1994, and since then a variety of mixed-metal cluster that contain various Os Pd ratios have been created. Palladium-pyridine complexes appear to be useful reagents in the synthesis of mixed-metal clusters with osmium carbonyl compounds. " The reaction of the coordinately unsaturated cluster [Os3(yu-H)2(CO)io] with [Pd(NH3)2l2] afforded a number of Os-Pd clusters with a high hydride content. " Both palladium phosphine and bidentate phosphine complexes are useful in the preparation of high-nuclearity mixed-metal clusters. The reaction of [Os3(/i-H)2(CO)io] with [Pd2(/i-dppm)2Cl2] gave 258 and 259, in addition to 260, with the same metal core, " in which the molecule contains a twofold symmetry axis. " " ... 

If Ni(CO)2[P(CH2CH2CN)3]2 is allowed to react further with nickel carbonyl, one finds an unusual but ill-characterized product, [Ni(CO) P(CH2CH2CN)3], which is believed to have no terminal carbonyl groups (342). A number of mixed phosphine complexes, [Ni(CO)2(PR3)(PR3 )J, have been prepared (40). The hydride complex [Ni2H2(00)5] and triphenyl-phosphine combine in the presence of ammonia, forming Ni(CO)2... 

The A-frame hydride [Pt2H2(/i-H)(/i-dppm)2] undergoes reductive elimination of H2 in the presence of tertiary phosphine ligands, L, to give the platinum(I) dimer, [Pt2HL(//-dppm)2]. Hill and Puddephatt have shown that this occurs via the intermediate [Pt2II2(/i-H)L(//-dppm)2] (14).99 Carbon monoxide reacts rapidly and reversibly with [PtH(/r-PP)2Pt(CO)]+, PP = R2P-CH2-PR2, R = Et or Ph, to give [PtH(/i-PP)2Pt(CO)2]+ and [PtH(CO)(/u-PP)2Pt(CO)2]+, the first reported mixed valence, platinum(0)-platinum(ll) complexes.100...
