Abstract
The potentially quadridentate chelate, tris(but-3-enyl)arsine, reacts with palladium(II) salts to form PdLX2(X = Cl, I) complexes, and with platinum(II) salts to form PtLX2(X = Cl, Br, I,CNS) complexes. The complexes have been investigated by conductivity measurements, molecular weight studies, and by electronic, i.r., and 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy. The PdLCl2 and PtLX2(X = Cl, Br) complexes are cis-planar and, as well as containing an arsine donor, also contain a co-ordinated olefinic group in rapid equilibrium with unco-ordinated olefins. The PdLI2 and PtLX2(X = I, CNS) are halogeno- or pseudohalogeno-bridged dimers and contain only monodentate arsine-donor ligands. The tendency for olefins to co-ordinate in these, and analogous systems, is discussed.Keywords
