Co-ordination chemistry at a triply bridging site of [Pd3(µ3-CO)(µ-Ph2PCH2PPh2)3]2+: the structure of the chloride adduct
Abstract
The selective attachment of halide ions to a triply bridging site in the complex cation [Pd3(µ3-CO)(µ-dppm)3]2+(dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) has been established and the structure of the chloride adduct determined; the chloride ligand is very weakly bound to the Pd3 unit and is shielded by a ring of phenyl groups from the dppm ligands.
