Synthesis, structures and reactivity of some mono- and dinuclear palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes containing 2-pyridyl functionalised selenosemicarbazones

摘要

Mononuclear palladium(II) or platinum(II) complexes containing a 2-pyridyl-functionalised selenosemicarbazone ligand react with bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane in the presence of a silver salt affording dinuclear cationic compounds, in which the dppe bridges two metal centres. The solid-state structures of these compounds are discussed and possible reaction sequences leading to these products are presented. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
