Some novel µ-sulphido- and tetrasulphido-complexes of platinum(II)

Abstract
The binuclear and trinuclear µ-sulphido-complexes [Pt2S2(PMe2Ph)4] and [Pt3S2(PMe2Ph)6]Cl2 have been prepared by the reaction of sodium sulphide and cis-dichlorobis(dimethylphenylphosphine)platinum(II). Their properties, reactions, and structures are discussed in this paper. In ammoniacal ethanol solution sodium sulphide reacts with cis-[PtCl2(PPh3)2] to give the complex [Pt2S(PPh3)4], probably structurally analogous to [Pt2S(CO)(PPh3)3]. The platinum(0) and palladium (0) complexes ML4[M = Pd or Pt, L = PPh3, L2=(PPh2)2C2H4] by oxidative addition of elemental sulphur give the complexes [L2MS4], which contain the novel MS4 ring system.
