Similarly to Pd2, palladium complexes with ligands similar to Pd3 have found some applications as catalysts for Suzuki-type reactions. Additionally this ligand has been explored in several other coordination compounds, including lanthanides, cobalt, ruthenium, platinum, and chromium. Mansour et al. described the photoactivated carbon monoxide (CO) releasing properties of ruthenium carbonyl complexes with this ligand. Of note, compound Pt5 is identical to Pd3 in all aspects except the metal centre.
