Article Description

Palladium and platinum metal complexes of 2,5-bis(α-pyridyl)- pyrrolate (PDP) are reported and characterized by spectroscopic methods, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and elemental analysis. The single-crystal X-ray structures of these complexes exhibit structural features indicative of significant φ-backbonding. To illustrate the effect, bond lengths are statistically compared to unmetalated PDP and to a previously reported Zn(II) complex that exhibits no backbonding. Density functional theory calculations are used to aid understanding of the electronic structural basis of the observed phenomena. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
