Structural chemistry of [MX 2 (bipy)] (M = Pd, Pt; X = Cl, Br, I): the yellow polymorph of dichlorido(2,2'-bipyridine) platinum(II) and diiodido(2,2'-bipyridine)palladium(II), and overview of this system

Synchrotron data have been used to determine the structures of the yellow polymorph of dichlorido(2,2′-bipyridine)platinum(ii) (1), and diiodido(2,2′-bipyridine)palladium(ii) (2), allowing a detailed comparison of the crystal chemistry of [MX2(bipy)
