Abstract
Complexes of the general formula PdL2(π-CS2) (L = PPh3 PEtPh2; PCy3 (tricyclohexyphosphine); L2 = L-L = dpe (1,2-bis (diphenylphosph ino)ethane dpb(1,4-bis(d iphenylphosphino) butane, b ipy (2,2′-bipyr id ine) or phen (1,10-phenanthroline)) have been prepared by the reaction of Pd2(dba)3.CHCl3 (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) with stoicheiometric amounts of the ligands L or L-L and CS2. The novel complexes are characterized by their IR spectra.
