Lithium-palladium complex supported by phosphonatophosphine and chloride ligands
The reaction of the phosphonatophosphine ligand Ph2PCH(SiMe3)P(O)(OEt)(2) with (PdCl2(COD)] in the presence of LiCl afforded the neutral, mixed-metal complex [LiPd2Cl5[mu-Ph2PCH2P(O)(OEt)(2)}(2)] in which the Li+ cation is tetrahedrally coordinated,by the P=O bonds and two Pd-bound Cl atoms.
