Palladium complexes structural parameters

Selected Structural Parameters of the Palladium and Platinum 1,1-Dithio Complexes. 

The current high level of interest in binuclear metal complexes arises from the expectation that the metal centers in these complexes will exhibit reactivity patterns that differ from the well-established modes of reactivity of mononuclear metal complexes. The diphosphine, bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dpm), has proved to be a versatile ligand for linking two metals while allowing for considerable flexibility in the distance between the two metal ions involved (1). This chapter presents an overview of the reaction chemistry and structural parameters of some palladium complexes of dpm that display the unique properties found in some binuclear complexes. Palladium complexes of dpm are known for three different oxidation states. Palladium(O) is present in Pd2(dpm)3 (2). Although the structure of this molecule is unknown, it exhibits a single P-31 NMR reso-... 

X-ray crystal structures have been reported for mononuclear platinum-cycloheptadienyne complexes 222a8Z and 25985 and the palladium analogue of 222a.86 Selected structural parameters are given in Table VIII.
