Synthesis of homo and hetero palladium–platinum bimetallic complexes; X-ray crystal structure of Pt2Cl2(µ-CO)(PPh3)3

Abstract
The compounds M1(CO)(PPh3)3(M1= Pt, Pd) react with M2Cl2(PhCN)2(M2= Pt, Pd) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature to afford the new homo [M1= M2= Pt (1); M1= M2= Pd (2)] or hetero [M1= Pt, M2= Pd (3); M1= Pd, M2= Pt(4)] bimetallic complexes M1M2Cl2(µ-CO)(PPh3)3via formal oxidative-addition of the M2(II)–Cl bond at the M1(0) centre; complex (1) has been structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction.
