C^N-METALLACYCLES OF (MAINLY) PALLADIUM AND PLATINUM – STRUCTURAL STUDIES

Solid sate statistical and theoretical conformational study of C^N-2-phenylazophenyl complexes of palladium(II) (6.01) [pub014], study of intermolecular interactions driven by Pd-Pd bonds in di-(μ-OH)-C^N-ortho-palladated complexes (6.02) [pub040] and orthogonal π- and T-stacking interactions in di-(μ-pirazolyl)-C^N-[2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl] palladium complexes (6.03) [pub046]. The herringbone-shaped dimers of the later complex display Ar-H···Pd anagostic bonds that are studied theoretically in detail.
