A quasi-covalent metal–metal bond in an early–late heterobimetallic Ti–Pt complex stabilized by phosphinoenolate ligands

Abstract

An unusual early–late bimetallic complex with direct metal–metal bonding is obtained from a phosphinoenolate ligand-assisted reaction between Ti(IV) and Pt(0) reagents which occurs by formal insertion of the Pt(0) centre into a Ti(IV)–O bond; X-ray data and EHMO calculations indicate the presence of a quasi-covalent Ti(III)–Pt(I) bond (2.721(2) Å).
