Abstract

The reaction of [Pt(1,5-C₈H₁₂)₂] with Bu^tNC yields [Pt₃(Bu^tNC)₆], structurally identified by X-ray crystallography, and with tricyclohexylphosphine and ethylene affords [Pt(PCy₃)₂] and [Pt(C₂H₄)₃] respectively (Cy = cyclohexyl); the 14-electron phosphine complex reacts with hydrogen to give trans-[PtH₂(PCy₃)₂].
