Platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes containing chelating acyl ligands have been synthesized from salicylaldehyde, 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde. The platinum(II) complexes [Pt(acyl)L₂], acyl  OC₆H₄CO, OC₁₀H₆CO, O(m-CH₃OC₆H₃CO), L  tertiary phosphine, 1/2 diphenylphosphinoethane, can be isolated with both monodentate and chelating diphosphines, whereas for palladium only the compounds with chelating phosphines are readily obtainable. The reactions of [Pt(OC₆H₄CO)L₂] with HCl afford trans-[PtCl(OHC₆H₄CO)L₂], L  monodentate tertiary phosphine and cis-[PtCl(OHC₆H₄CO)L₂], L2  1,2-bis-diphenylphosphinoethane, in which the metal—carbon bond remains intact. The structure of [Pt(OC₆H₄CO)-(P(p-CH₃C₆H₄)₃)₂] has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods and found to have the expected square planar structure. Some relevant bond lengths and angles are: PtP; 2.271(4) and 2.348(5) Å; PtC; 1.96(2) Å and PtO; 2.07(1) Å; PPtP  101°, CPtO  82°.

Chiral “P-N-P” ligands, (C₂₀H₁₂O₂)PN(R)PY₂ [R = CHMe₂, Y = C₆H₅ (1), OC₆H₅ (2), OC₆H₄-4-Me (3), OC₆H₄-4-OMe (4) or OC₆H₄-4-^tBu (5)] bearing the axially chiral 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-dioxy moiety have been synthesised. Palladium allyl chemistry of two of these chiral ligands (1 and 2) has been investigated. The structures of isomeric η³-allyl palladium complexes, (R′ = Me or Ph; Y = C₆H₅ or OC₆H₅) have been elucidated by high field two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The solid state structure of [Pd(η³-1,3-Ph₂-C₃H₃){κ²-(racemic)-(C₂₀H₁₂O₂)PN(CHMe₂)PPh₂}](PF₆) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Preliminary investigations show that the diphosphazanes, 1 and 2 function as efficient auxiliary ligands for catalytic allylic alkylation but give rise to only moderate levels of enantiomeric excess.     

Synthesis, characterization, and crystal structures of n-alkyldiorganodithiophosphates RS2P(OC6H4)2

Treatment of KS₂P(OC₆H₄)₂ (1) with five n-alkyl halides afforded the stable n-alkyldithiophosphate compounds RS₂P(OC₆H₄)₂ (2–6).

The crystal packing of title compounds is stabilized by cation-π, weak hydrogen bonding C–H---O, as well as aromatic non-bonded interactions.     

Thermal behaviour of two new salts of malonic acid: Cu(C3H2O4)·4H2O and Cu(NH4)2(C3H2O4)2

Two new salts of malonic acid have been prepared: the copper(II) malonate tetrahydrate and the copper(II)-ammonium double malonate. Their study by thermal analysis (TG and DTA) leads to the following results:Cu(C₃H₂O₄)·4H₂O: the dehydration is rather complex and it is only under careful conditions that an intermediate hydrate Cu(C₃H₂O₄)·3H₂O could be traced. At about 170°C the dehydration is not ended (the salt holds yet about 0.15H₂O) and the anhydrous salt occurs only at about 240°C. It decomposes immediately leading to residues the composition of which depends upon the surrounding atmosphere; the part played by the gas given off is discussed.Cu(NH₄)₂(C₃H₂O₄)₂: this salt melts and decomposes simultaneously at about 190°C. During the decomposition the copper nitride Cu₃N forms as intermediate compound (as well as copper metal). Concerning the final residues of the decomposition the results and the conclusions are the same as the ones of the previous case.
