Reaction of 1,2-benzocyclobutadienequinone with zerovalent platinum: preparation and structure of (1,1-bistriphenylphosphine)platinabenzocyclopentenedione

Abstract
The reaction of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)platinum with 1,2-benzocyclobutadienequinone (1) effects an unsymmetrical opening of, and insertion of Pt(PPh3)2 into, the four-membered ring of (1) to give two conformers of the title compound, whose crystal structures have been determined.
