Synthesis and structure of a platinum-palladium complex [η3-C3H5Pd(μ-OAc)2PtPPh3(OAc)]

A novel type of platinum-palladium heteronuclear complex containing bridging acetate ligands, namely, (η3-allyl)palladium(II)triacetatotriphenylphosphine) platinum(II), has been prepared by reaction of bis[η3-allyl)chloropalladium] with triacetatoargento(I)triphenyl-phosphineplatinum(II); the complex was characterized on the basis of x-ray structural analysis, and its IR, PMR, and31P-NMR spectral data.
