By reacting 2 with cis- (M=Pd or Pt; thf=tetrahydrofuran) in CHCl3 the binuclear homo- or hetero-metallic complexes 2 (M=M'=Pd or Pt; M=PT, M'=Pd), containing bridging pentafluorophenyl groups, are obtained.Their structures have been established by 19F n.m.r. spectroscopy.The homometallic derivatives react with neutral (L) or anionic (X)^- ligands yielding (M=Pd or Pt; L=PPh3, CO, or 1/2Ph2PCH2PPh2) or 2 (M=Pd or Pt; X=Br), respectively.The heterometallic complex 2 reacts with PPh3 or Ph2PCH2PPh2 giving rise to a mixture of cis- and 2, while its reaction with CO yields a mixture of and .
