A palladium–platinum
bimetal complex containing a mono-lacunary
α-Keggin-type polyoxotungstate is demonstrated. The bimetallic
complex Cs2.5{PdII(bpy)}0.25[α-PW11O39{PdII(bpy)}{cis-PtII(NH3)2}]·12H2O·2CH3CN (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) (PdPt) was synthesized by the reaction of Cs4.9K0.1[α-PW11O39{cis-PtII(NH3)2}]·10H2O (Pt1) with PdII(bpy)Cl2 in aqueous solution.
The compound PdPt was characterized via elemental analysis,
thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis, and Fourier transform
infrared, ultraviolet–visible, cold-spray ionization mass,
and solution (1H, 13C, and 31P) nuclear
magnetic resonance spectroscopies. The coordination of {cis-PtII(NH3)2} and {PdII(bpy)} moieties to the mono-vacant site of [PW11O39]7– resulted in an asymmetric, monomeric
compound. A unique exchange reaction between the counter cation [PdII(bpy)]2+ and {cis-PtII(NH3)2} moiety in [α-PW11O39{PdII(bpy)}{cis-PtII(NH3)2}]3– in a dimethylsulfoxide
solution was also observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
