Use of hydrogen selenide for synthesis of binuclear palladium complexes containing bridging selenide, and their conversion into novel dimetallic selenoxides
Abstract
The complexes [Pd2Cl2{µ-PPh2CH(R)PPh2}2], where R = H or Me, react with H2Se or elemental Se to yield the bridging-selenide derivatives [Pd2Cl2(µ-Se){µ-PPh2CH(R)PPh2}2]; these, on treatment with ButOOH, yield the corresponding µ-SeO (dimetallic selenoxide) species.
