DFT studies of the full mechanistic Suzuki–Miyaura reaction: synthesis, structural analysis and cytotoxicity of P,C-chelated palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes

The new Pd/Pt(II) complexes, [MBr2(Ph2PCH2PPh2C(H)C(O)C6H4-m-Br)] (M = Pd (1); M = Pt (2)), with unsymmetrical phosphorus ylide [Ph2PCH2PPh2=C(H)C(O)C6H4Br] (Y) have been synthesized through a simp...
