Homogeneous nucleation of bis(1,2-cyclohexanedionedioximato)palladium(II)

Precipitation from homogeneous solution has been applied to the drop technique for the study of the homogeneous nucleation of bis(1,2-cyclohexanedionedioximato)palladium(II). It was found that under the experimental conditions employed the interfacial energy of the chelate was 47 ergs.cm(-2) and the critical radius size 11 A.     

Coordination complexes of the dimethyl-thio-phosphonium cation and ligand exchange

The quantitative exchange of a 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine ligand on the dimethyl-thio-phosphonium cation by Me3P demonstrates the coordinative nature of the N-P and P-P bond and diversifies a fundamentally important new direction in the coordination chemistry of phosphorus as an acceptor.
