Abstract

Investigations of the weak metal-metal interactions of Pt(II)-M(I), where M=Ag, Cu, were carried out through the Ag and Cu model complexes. The existence of weak interaction between Pt(II) and Ag(I)/Cu(I) was confirmed by the obtained attractive interaction energy curves for the metal complexes. It was observed that the estimated equilibrium separations between Pt and M, lie within the region expected for weak metal-metal interaction. It was found that the electronic dispersive contributions dominated the weak interaction.
