Abstract

[Hg{CH2C(O)Me}2] reacts with K[PtCl3(CH2[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2)] (2 ∶ 1 molar ratio) to give K[Pt2{CH2C(O)Me}6(μ-Cl)3] (1); the intermediate [Pt{CH2C(O)Me}Cl2(CH2[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2)]− has been detected in solution and isolated as a Me4N+ salt; the process occurs through successive normal and redox transmetallation reactions and an ab initio X-ray powder diffraction study of 1 has proven to be essential to establish its nature.
