Abstract:
By the reaction of trans-(PBu3)2Pt(CCCCH)2 with trans-(PBu3)2PdCl2, the title polymer, (II), has been prepared and characterized by spectral and analytical data. The alternating regularity of the metal arrangement in II was confirmed by the selective formation of the trinuclear complex trans,trans,trans-ClPd(PBu3)2?CCC CPt(PBu3)2?CC-CCPd(PBu3)2(XXIII), in the depolymerization by trans- (PBu3)2PdCl2 using CuI as catalyst in XXNEt2.
