Abstract

Reactions of the binuclear complexes M2L2Cl2 [M = Pt or Pd, L = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) or 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine (dppy)] with thallium 3,6-ditert-butyl-o-benzosemiquinone (3,6-SQ) in solutions have been studied. The formation of the corresponding bis(semiquinone) binuclear derivatives M2L2(SQ)2 with retention of the metal-metal bond has been established by the ESR method. The average distances between the centers of localization of unpaired electrons, which were determined from the ESR spectral data for the complexes studied, allow conclusions about the parallel arrangement of the semiquinone ligands in skewed conformations in a square-pyramidal coordination sphere of both metal atoms. At room temperature, the biradical complexes are slowly converted to diamagnetic catecholate compounds with cleavage of the M-M bond and with retention of the bridging structure of the dppm and dppy ligands. The structures of catecholate complexes of palladium have been established by X-ray structural analysis.
