phenanthroline-5, 6-dione), Pt (N, N′-pd) Cl2, Pd (N, N′-pd) Cl2,[Ru (bpy) 2 (N, N′-pd)]
Cl2 (bpy= 2, 2′-bipyridine) and Pt (O, O′-pd)(PPh3) 2, where N, N′ and O, O′ refers to
coordination of pd to the metal centre via N and O atoms, respectively, reveals that the
electron transfer processes between+ 0.5 and− 1.25 V all occur at the pd ligand in
agreement with DFT calculations. The two CO groups carry a significant amount of the …
