Hetero-trinuclear complexes of formula [(C₆F₅)₂Pt(μ-PPh₂)₂M(dppf)] [dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, M = Pt (1), M = Pd (2)] were prepared by coupling between cis-[(C₆F₅)₂Pt(PPh₂)₂]Li₂ and cis-MCl₂(dppf). Reaction of the Pt/Pt/Fe species 1 with [Ag(OClO₃)(PPh₃)] or I₂ resulted in the formation of the complexes [(C₆F₅)(PPh₃)Pt(μ-PPh₂)₂Pt(dppf)] (3) and [(C₆F₅)(I)Pt(μ-PPh₂)₂Pt(dppf)] (4), respectively, in which one of the pentafluorophenyl ligands has been replaced by PPh₃ or I. Reaction of the Pt/Pd/Fe species 2 with Ag(ClO₄) afforded the tetranuclear complex [(C₆F₅)₂Pt(μ-PPh₂)₂Pd(dppf)Ag] (5) where the silver atom is bonded to Pd, to one of the bridging P and to one of the dppf P atoms. With [Ag(OClO₃)(PPh₃)], complex 5 is also formed, although mixed with [Ag(PPh₃)₂][ClO₄]. A dynamic process in solution, in which the silver atom passes from one Pd–μPPh₂ bond to the other, has been observed at room temperature for complex 5. The crystal structures of 3, 4 and 5 are reported..
