Novel synthesis of σ-bonded palladium and nickel compounds by co-condensation of metal vapour with alkyl free radicals
Abstract
The novel compounds trans-(CF3)2Pd(PMe3)2 and (CF3)2Ni(PMe3)3 have been prepared by co-condensation of palladium and nickel with trifluoromethyl radicals; initially the thermally unstable unsaturated alkyls Pd(CF3)2 and Ni(CF3)2 were prepared which were subsequently stabilized by trapping with trimethylphosphine at low temperature.
