Abstract

Isostructural dinuclear Pd and Pt complexes that exhibit unique d(8)-d(8) interactions between dicationic metal centers are reported. These metal-metal interactions are not supported by any bridging ligands and suggest a significant metal-metal bonding character for both Pd and Pt systems.
