Syntheses, structural studies, photoelectron spectra and density functional theory calculations of the “pseudo” tetraphospha-metallocenes [M(η-P2C3But3)2], (M = Ni, Pd, Pt)†
Abstract
Syntheses and structural characterization of the complexes [M(η-P2C3But3)2], (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) are described. The nickel compound has an 18-electron [Ni(η5-P2C3But3)(η3-P2C3But3)] structure, whereas the
