Abstract

A unique palladium inverse crown complex in [Cs2(18-crown-6)2]2+ [(PdPtBuPh)6(PPh)]2− is presented where a neutral (PdP)6 ring hosts the dianionic PhP2− guest. Characterised by SC-XRD and high-resolution mass spectrometry, its solution constitution in THF is probed by DOSY and multinuclear NMR with quantitative insight into its bonding by DFT calculations.
