The coordination behavior of 2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)maleic-N-phenylimide towards copper, silver, gold and palladium

“…Just recently a digold complex [(AuCl) 2 L1] was published, where the two gold(I) ions show the typical linear coordination. 29 In addition we also investigated the coordination behavior of palladium with L1. Starting from the palladium(0) compound [Pd(Ph 3 ) 4 ] the neutral mononuclear complex [Pd(L1′) 2 ] (11, Fig.…”

Syntheses and Structures of d10Coinage Metal Complexes of Electron-Accepting Phosphine Ligands Featuring a 3,3,4,4,5,5-Hexafluorocyclopentene Framework

“…The structure of 5 can be characterized by the substantially shortened Ag−O bond lengths in comparison to those of [Ag(OTf)(dppb)] 2 38 (Table 1), suggesting increased The molecular structure of 6 displays an intramolecular Au− Au short contact (Figure 6a and Table 2), indicating the existence of a weak aurophilic interaction. 1 The structural parameters of 6 are similar to those found in the related complexes [Au 2 Cl 2 (dppBz)] 39 and [Au 2 Cl 2 (dppMa)], 40 as well as the DFT-optimized structure. The structure of complex 6 is similar to that of the PPh 3 analogue.…”
