Mixed-Metal Palladium(II) Complexes: a Way from Heterometallic Carboxylates to Bimetallic Nanoparticles

The paper describes some chemical transformations of the mixed-metal palladium (II) complexes, including interactions of binuclear complexes with pyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline and bipyridine; also described thermal and reductive transformations of some binuclear and pentanuclear nitrogen-containing complexes, in particular red-ox transformations in reductive media to yield mixed-metal nanomaterials. For this nanomaterials and nanoalloys also provided HREM and TEM investigations.
