Selective dimerization of a trinuclear mixed-metal sandwich complex: construction of an axially chiral metal skeleton
Keyword(s):
We report reductive dimerization of mixed metal Pd2Pt or PdPt2 sandwich complexes. The dimerization occurs through selective Pt–Pt bond formation, and the PdPt2 dimer has a unique axially chiral structure derived from the heterometal arrangement.
