Abstract:
The chloro-bridged cyclometallated palladium(II) complex [PdCl{κC,Se-C6H4P(Se)Ph2}]2 reacts with
4-MeC6H4C(O)NHC(Se)NEt2 in the presence of base to give [Pd{κC,Se-C6H4P(Se)Ph2}{κO,Se-4-
MeC6H4C(O)NC(Se)NEt2}] in high yield. The complex was fully characterised by spectroscopic methods and
also X-ray diffraction. This compound represents one of the few examples of a metal complex containing two
different selenium-containing ligands.
