Abstract:<p>This thesis provides an account of research into a family of novel hybrid P,E ligands containing an o-xylene backbone. A methodology for the synthesis of these ligands has been developed, and their coordination behaviour with platinum(II) and platinum(0) precursors has been explored, with particular focus on a phosphinethioether (P,S) ligand of this type. The coordination modes of this P,S ligand with palladium precursors have also been investigated, and the utility of the ligand in a palladium and co… Show more
