Isolation of the first diselenadiazolyl complex, Pd3[PhCNSeSeN]2[PPh3]4·2PhMe
Abstract
The selenium–nitrogen radical PhCNSeSeN is shown to be partially associated in solution; it undergoes an oxidative addition reaction to Pd(PPh3)4via Se–Se bond cleavage, and the structure of the first diselenadiazolyl–metal complex, Pd3[PhCNSeSeN]2[PPh3]4 is reported.
