	abstract = {<p>The adsorption of small gaseous molecules to the metal center in Pt-doped (5,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes has been explored within density functional theory. A model system consisting of a single Pt atom residing in the middle of a carbon nanotube with capping H atoms is used for our investigation. For all gases studied, the overall process of adsorption was found to be exothermic, where the affinity strongly depended on the orientation of the molecule. By examining the density of states and molecular orbitals of these nanotube-adsorbate complexes in comparison to the bare Pt-doped nanotube, we show that the electronic structure of these materials is strongly influenced by the presence of gases. Hence, we propose an application of Pt-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes as gas sensors and hope to motivate experimental work in this field.</p>},

	abstract = {Reactions of metal-metal bonded homobimetallic (Pd-2) and heterobimetallic (PtPd) complexes, supported by a P,P{\textquoteright}-bridging-bis(P,N-chelating) coordination mode of the potentially hexadentate ligand 1,1-bis[di(o-N,N-dimethylanilinyl)phosphino]methane (dmapm), with CO, diethylacetylenedicarboxylate (DEAD), and thiols (FISH) in CH2Cl2 are described. At room temperature, rac-Pd2Cl2(mu-N,P:P{\textquoteright},N{\textquoteright}-dmapm) gives the stable complexes Pd2Cl2(mu-CO)(2)-(mu-P:P{\textquoteright}-dmapm) and PdCl(eta(2)-DEAD)(mu-P:P{\textquoteright}, N-dmapm)PdCl (which is fluxional in solution), while rac-PtPdCl2(mu-N,P:P{\textquoteright}, N{\textquoteright}-dmapm) disproportionates to PtCl2(P,P{\textquoteright}-dmapm) and Pd metal, although at low temperature intermediate carbonyl species are detected in the CO reaction. The reactions with thiols in the presence of triflic acid (HOTf) generate rac-[MPdCl2(mu-SR)(mu-N,P:P{\textquoteright},N{\textquoteright}-dmapm)][OTf] and H-2 for both M = Pt and Pd. In CH2Cl2, PdX2(dmapm) species (X = halide or CN) exist as equilibrium mixtures of P,P{\textquoteright} and P,N-ligated forms. For X = Cl, the P,P{\textquoteright}-PN equilibrium is governed by DeltaHdegrees = -5.5 +/- 0.5 kJ mol(-1) and DeltaSdegrees = 10 +/- 1 J mol(-1) K-1, and the ring-strain energy within the P,P{\textquoteright}-isomer is similar to32 kJ mol(-1); the equilibrium increasingly favors the P,N-form with X = CN much greater than I > Br > Cl. The solid-state structures of rac-[PtPdCl2(mu-SEt)(mu-NP:P{\textquoteright},N{\textquoteright}-dmapm)][OTf] and PdCl2(P,N-dmapm) are presented; the latter contains both bound and free N- and P-atoms of identical types in the same molecule and permits an assessment of sigma- and pi-bonding between these atoms and Pd.},

	abstract = {The head-to-tail (HT) isomer of Pt2I2(mu-Ppy3)2 (3), where py=2-pyridyl, is made by reaction of NaI with the chloro analogue (2), which it itself synthesized via a conproportionation reaction of a Pt(0) complex and cis-PtCl2(mu-PPY3)2 (1). Complex 1 is formed by reacting appropriate Pt(II) precursors with Ppy3. Dimethylacetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) inserts into the Pt-Pt bond of 3 to give the A-frame species HT-Pt2I2(mu-PpY3)2(mu-DMAD) (4); the reaction is kinetically first-order in both [3] and [DMAD], and the activation parameters (DELTAH(not-equal) = 38 kJ mol-1, DELTAS(not-equal) = -138 J mol-1 K-1) are consistent with a concerted process involving a four-centre transition state. Complexes 1-4 are characterized by elemental analyses and (P{H})P-31-H-1 and (Pt{H})-Pt-195-H-1 NMR spectroscopy.},
