The tetrachalcogenides [ME4(dppe)] (M = Pd, E = S; M = Pt, E = S, Se) react with the activated alkynes RO2CC≡CCO2R (R = Me, Et) to form the dithiolenes and diselenolenes [M{E2C2(CO2R)2}(dppe)]; the structures of the compounds with E = S, R = Et have been determined by X‐ray crystallography; [PdS4(dppe)] also reacts with the carbene complex [W(CO)5{C(OEt)C≡CPh}] to yield the bimetallic dithiolene [Pd{S2C2[C(OEt)W(CO)5]Ph}(dppe)].
