The oxidative addition of a chlorophosphine to Pd0: formation and characterisation of a 42-electron triangulo palladium cluster.
The reactions that lead to the formation of the 42-electron cluster [PdCl(P(NPr(i)(2))(2))](3) from various sources of the [P(NPr(i)(2))(2)] moiety are investigated, and the structure of the triangulo cluster confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
