Diarylamido/bis(phosphine) PNP pincer complexes are an attractive platform for studies of the chemistry of unsaturated group 10 complexes. In the course of the exploration of the chemistry of three-coordinate [(PNP)M]+ cations (M = Pd or Pt), we have observed versatile behavior of these fragments towards hydrocarbons, and C-H bonds, in general. The balance between hydrocarbon complexes and their C-H addition isomers has been of particular interest to us. The presentation will cover our newest reactivity, structural, and theoretical findings.
