The two-electron oxidation reactions of the neutral [(C6F5)(2)M(mu-PR2)(2)M'(NCCH3)(2)] (M = M' = Pt or Pd, M = Pt, M' = Pd) complexes using I-2 as oxidant have been investigated by experimental (R = Ph) and electronic structure calculation methods (R = H). It was found that a reductive coupling of PR, and C6F5 takes place along the reaction pathway for all oxidized complexes. The most salient structural features of the [(C6F5)(2)Pt(mu-PR2)(2)Pd(C6F5)(2)](2-), [(C6F5)(2)Pd(mu-PR2)(2)Pd(acac)](-), and [(C6F5)(2)Pt(mu-PR2)(2)PtI2] complexes (experimental R = Ph) are reproduced very well by the B3LYP/lan12dz calculations (R = H).
