Diverse Evolution of [{Ph[sub 2]P(CH[sub 2])[sub n]PPh[sub 2]}Pt{Ph[sub 2]P(CH[sub 2])[sub n]PPh[sub 2]}](n = 2,3) Metalloligands in CH[sub 2]Cl[sub 2].

Investigates the nucleophilicity of metalloligands. Link between the nucleophilic character of the platinum (Pt) sulfide core and terminal ligands; Crystal structure of the heterobimetallic bridged dithiolate Pt-rhodium complexes; Reaction pathway of the bidentate ligands.
