Abstract

Hydride-abstraction reactions of hydrido(dihydrogermyl) complexes [MH(GeH2Trip)(dcpe)] [M = Pt, Pd, Trip = 9-triptycyl, dcpe = 1,2-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane] with B(C6F5)3 led to the unexpected formation of new cationic (μ-germyl)(μ-hydrido) dinuclear platinum and palladium complexes, [{M(dcpe)}2(μ-GeHTrip)(μ-H)](+).
