Abstract

Structurally similar but charge-differentiated platinum complexes have been prepared using the bidentate phosphine ligands [Ph2B (CH2PPh2) 2],([Ph2BP2],[1]), Ph2Si (CH2PPh2) 2,(Ph2SiP2, 2), and H2C (CH2PPh2) 2,(dppp, 3). The relative electronic impact of each ligand with respect to a coordinated metal center's electron-richness has been examined using comparative molybdenum and platinum model carbonyl and alkyl complexes. ...
