Abstract

Syntheses and structural characterization of the complexes [M(η-P₂C₃Bu^t₃)₂], (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) are described. The nickel compound has an 18-electron [Ni(η⁵-P₂C₃Bu^t₃)(η³-P₂C₃Bu^t₃)] structure, whereas the palladium and platinum compounds both have a 16-electron [M(η³-P₂C₃Bu^t₃)₂] structure (M = Pd, Pt).The electronic structure is examined and discussed using both photoelectron spectroscopy and DFT calculations.
