A novel type of ‘1-methyluracil (Hmeu) blue:’ the trinuclear, mixed-metal complex cis-[(NH3)2Pt(meu)2Pd(meu)2Pt(NH3)2]3+
Abstract
The formation and crystal structure of a novel heteronuclear complex, containing two d8(PtII) and one d7(PdIII) metals linked through four bridging 1-methyluracilato (meu) ligands is reported, and its relationship to the ‘platinum pyrimidine blues’ is briefly discussed.
