[PdI2(μ-PPh2)(μ2-OAc)(PPh3)2] is the reduction product of PdII(OAc)2(PPh3)2, generated by reaction ‘Pd(OAc)2’ with two equivalents PPh3. Here, we report that PPh3 results in a nuanced disproportionation reaction, forming [Pd0(PPh3)3] and phosphinito-bridged PdI-dinuclear complex, namely [PdI2(μ-PPh2){κ2-P,O-μ-P(O)Ph2}(κ-PPh3)2]. The latter complex proposed to form abstraction an oxygen atom fro...

New dinuclear methoxo-bridged manganese(III) complex [Mn2((MeO-bph)en)2Cl2(m-CH3O)2] (1) was synthesized by template reaction of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 1,2-ethanediamine and MnCl2×6H2O with molar ration (1:1:1) in methanol as solvent. The title compound 1 was characterized by...

Bis(chlorotetrylene)s of Si, Ge, and Sn have been synthetically realized starting from the backbone-bridged bis(amidine) 1. Double deprotonation 1 subsequent reaction with trichlorosilane affords bis(dichorosilane) 2, which is converted to respective bis(chlorosilylene) 3 by dehydrochlorination using lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide. The related bis(chlorogermylene) 4 bis(chlorostannylene) 5 ar...

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(2)Cl(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2)O(2)S)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], comprises neutral centrosymmetric μ-chloride-bridged dinuclear units. Each Cu(II) ion is penta-coordinated by three chloride ligands, a pyridine N-oxide O atom and a water mol-ecule. Intra- and inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur between the coordinated water mol-ecules and the uncoordinated and c...

In the heterometallic dinuclear title compound, [CuNa(C(24)H(22)N(2)O(4))Cl(H(2)O)]·C(3)H(7)NO, the Cu(II) ion is coord-inated in a square-planar geometry by two N atoms and two O atoms of the 6,6'-dieth-oxy-2,2'-[1,2-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl--idyne)]diphenolate ligand. The Na(I) ion is hexa-coordinated by four O atoms of the ligand, defining the equatorial plan, and by one O atom of the wa...
