Abstract
Square-planar complexes of the type R[graphic omitted]MX (M = Pt or Pd), containing the terdentate ligand 2,6-(Me2NCH2)2C6H3, undergo with MeI (M = Pt, X = BF4) oxidative addition and consecutive reductive elimination resulting in the formation of the complex BF4 –[IPt[graphic omitted]R-Me]+ in which the C-aryl centre, at which C–C coupling has occurred, is bonded to the cationic Pt-centre by a novel Pt-to-C-interaction.Keywords
