Abstract
The coordination chemistry of the bidentate P,N hybrid ligand 2- (2’-pyridyl)-4,6-diphenylphosphinine (1) towards PdII and PtII has been investigated. The molecular structures of the complexes [PdCl2(1)] and [PtCl2(1)] were determined by X-ray diffraction, representing the first crystallographically characterized l3-phosphinine– PdII and –PtII complexes. Both complexes reacted with methanol at the
