Reactivity of mononuclear dithiolato palladium and platinum metalloligands towards the formation of homo- and heterobimetallic complexes

The reactivity of mononuclear platinum and palladium dithiolato species as building blocks for homo- and heterobimetallic complexes is described. The heterobimetallic cationic complex [(PPh3)2Pt(μ-S(CH2)2S)Pd(dppb)](BF4)2 was obtained by reaction of [Pt(S(CH2)2S)(PPh3)2] with [PdCl2(Ph2P(CH2)4PPh2)] in presence of AgBF4.
