Sulfur dioxide inserts into the metal-metal bond of Pd/sub 2/(dpm)/sub 2/X/sub 2/ (dpm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane, X = Cl or Br), Pd/sub 2/(dam)/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/ (dam = bis(diphenylarsino)methane), and Pt/sub 2/(dpm)/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/. The adducts have been crystallized and characterized by infrared, electronic, and /sup 1/H NMR spectroscopy. The structure of Pd/sub 2/(dpm)/sub 2/(..mu..-SO/sub 2/)Cl/sub 2/ has been determined by x-ray crystallography. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2/sub 1/2/sub 1/2/sub 1/ with four molecules per unit cell of dimensions a = 15.582 (3), b = 16.457 (3), and c = 19.184 (5) A. Full-matrix least-squares refinement yields R = 0.069. The binuclear molecules contain two approximately planar palladium ions, each coordinated to a terminal chloride, a bridging sulfur dioxide, and two trans phosphorus donors from the bridging diphosphines. The ability of crystal packing forces to alter the Pd...Pd separation (3.383 (4) and 3.220 (4) A for the two crystallographically independent molecules) reflects the lack of a direct metal-metal bond. Pd/sub 2/(dpm)/sub 2/Cl/sub 2/ reacts with cyclo-octasulfur or propylene sulfide to give Pd/sub 2/(dpm)/sub 2/(..mu..-S)Cl/sub 2/, which has been crystallized and characterized by infrared, electronic, and /sup 1/H NMR spectra. Crystals of Pd/sub 2/(dpm)..mu..-S)Cl/sub 2/ are tetragonal, space group P4/sub 1/, with Z = 4 and cell dimensions a = 21.015 (4) and c = 14.281 (2) A. Refinement of this complex yields an R of 0.076. Oxidation of Pd/sub 2/(dpm)/sub 2/(..mu..-S)Cl/sub 2/ with m-chloroperbenzoic acid has been monitored by electronic spectroscopy at -60/sup 0/C; Pd/sub 2/(dpm)/sub 2/(..mu..-SO/sub 2/)Cl/sub 2/ is formed. The utility of the /sup 1/H NMR spectra of the methylene region of these dpm-bridged complexes in diagnosing the structure of the complexes is discussed. 5 figures, 8 tables.
