Complexes of the type trans-[PtPhFL2], where L = PPh3 (4), PMe2Ph (5), were synthesized. Complex 4 was characterized by X-ray crystallography. The equilibrium constant for the substitution of the fluo
The complexes cis-[Pt(κ2-Aryl)(κ1-Aryl)L] (κ2-Aryl = κ2-(C,O)-C6(NO2)2-2,6-(OMe)3, κ1-Aryl = κ1(C)-C6(NO2)2-2,6-(OMe)3, L = S-dmso (2cis), XyNC (4cis; Xy = 2,6-Me2C6H4), CO (5cis), PPh3 (7cis)) have b
The coordination chemistry of sulfonium cations, dormant since the early nineties, was recently revived when we reported the synthesis and characterization of the first Rh(I) and Pt(II) pincer-sulfo
Acyclic hydrogermanes [Ar2GeH2; Ar = Ph (1), Mes (8)] and a hydrostannane (Ph2SnH2, 5) were reacted with the Pt(0) precursor (Ph3P)2Pt(η2-C2H4) (2). The mononuclear complexes (Ph3P)2Pt(H)(GePh2H) (3),
The platinum diboran(4)yl complexes 1–3 have been prepared by the selective oxidative addition of one B–Hal bond in aryl-substituted diboranes(4) Hal2B2Ar2 (Hal = Cl, Ar = mes, dur; Hal = I, Ar = mes
