Palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of 2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline. II. Effects of steric overcrowding on coordinated polyatomic anions

Abstract

Complexes of 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline with palladium(II) and platinum(II) with polyatomic anions are described. The effect of steric overcrowding on the molecular geometry is discussed on the basis of spectral evidence.
