Metal complexes as ligands: structure and bonding in new bis[bis(π-cyclopentadienyl)niobium-bis-µ-methanethiolate]- complexes of zerovalent nickel, palladium, or platinum
Abstract
The new complexes [(π-C5H5)2Nb(SMe)2]2-M′2+A22–(M′= Ni, Pd, or Pt) are shown by crystal structure determination (M′= Ni) to be tetrahedrally co-ordinated about the metal M′.
