Abstract
Treatment of trans-[Pt(CCR)2(dppm-P)2](dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2, R = Ph or p-tolyl) with trans-[PtH (Cl)(PPh3)2] gives hydride-bridged binuclear salts of type [(RCC)Pt(µ-dppm)2(µ-H)Pt-(CCR)]Cl in good (86–97%) yield. These complexes are fluxional at +21 °C but when cooled to –56 °C the 1H n.m.r. spectrum corresponds to a static structure with pseudo-axial and pseudo-equatorial methylene hydrogen resonances. Deprotonation of these salts with sodium isopropoxide gives the binuclear complexes, [(RCC) Pt(µ-dppm)2Pt(CCR)], with platinum–platinum bonds. These react with CS2 or with MeOOCCCCOOMe, ‘X’, to give ‘A frames,’[(RCC) Pt(µ-dppm)2-(µ-X)Pt(CCR)], which were fully characterized. Treatment of [(PhCC)Pt(µ-dppm)2Pt(CCPh)] with SO2 probably gave the ‘A frame’[(PhCC)Pt(µ-dppm)2(µ-SO2)Pt(CCPh)] which was not isolated but was characterized in solution by 31P-{1H}n.m.r. spectroscopy. N.m.r. and i.r. data are given.
