Divergent reactivity of platinum(ii) and palladium(ii) methylperoxo complexes and the formation of an unusual hemi-aminal complex†
Abstract
The 6,6′′-diaminoterpyridine palladium(II) methylperoxo complex eliminates methyl hydroperoxide and reacts with acetone to form a novel hemi-aminal palladium complex, whereas the analogous platinum(II) complex generates formaldehyde and a platinum(II) hydroxo complex.
