Synthesis and single crystal X-ray structure of the first cationic Pd(ii) complex of a tellurium-containing polyaza macrocycle: contrasting reactions of Pd(ii) and Pt(ii) with a 22-membered macrocyclic Schiff base
Abstract
The reaction of the tellurium containing macrocyclic Schiff base 1 with Pd(PhCN)2Cl2 and NH4PF6 gives the expected cationic complex [PdII1][PF6]2; by contrast the reaction of 1 with Pt(cod)Cl2 proceeds via novel transmetallation to yield an organoplatinum complex.
