Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Metal‐centred heterocubane structures</bold> characterise the homoleptic tetrakis(silyl) complexes of zerovalent palladium and platinum, [MLi₄{Si(3, 5‐Me₂pz)₃}₄] (3, 5‐Me₂pz=3, 5‐dimethylpyrazole; M=Pd or Pt), in which the central d¹⁰ metal atom is surrounded by four silicon and four lithium atoms. Cyclic voltammetry shows that the corresponding cationic d⁹ M^I and dicationic d⁸ M^II complexes are accessible through one‐electron oxidation processes. For more details, see the Full Paper by F.
