Trapping of two mononuclear silyl platinum(ii)/palladium(ii) complexes and a unique dinuclear bis(μ₂-disilene)(silyl)nickel(ii) complex

Abstract

The reaction of chelating 1,2-disilyl hydrides with transition metal precursors featuring low steric hindrance phosphine ligands always produce multinuclear frameworks through mononuclear silyl metal intermediates. Capture of intermediates is very...
