FACILE CLEAVAGE OF CARBON-PALLADIUM BONDS IN C60PDN WITH PHOSPHINES AND PHOSPHITES - AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE TO (ETA-2-C60)PDL2 AND DISCOVERY OF FLUXIONARITY SUGGESTING THE ROTATION OF C-60 ON THE PDL2 SPECIES INSOLUTION

Carbon-palladium bonds in C60Pdn are easily cleaved with phosphines an
d phosphites to afford C60[PdL2]n. The reaction with C60Pdn (n = 1.0-1
.4) offers an alternative synthetic route to C60PdL2. Fluxional behavi
or indicating rotation of C60 on the PdL2 species in solution is obser
ved on C-13 NMR spectra of C60PdL2, where L = PMe2Ph, PPh2Me, and P(OM
