Abstract

Zeise's anion in strongly basic hydroxylated solvents undergoes unprecedented nucleophilic addition of OR− (R = H, Me, Et) to the η2-ethene giving trans-[PtCl2(η1-C2H4OR)(OR)]2− which readily reacts with bidentate nitrogen donors N–N to give Cl− and OR− substitution and formation of [PtCl(CH2CH2OR)(N–N)]. Protonolysis of this stable organometallic species offers a versatile route to cationic [PtCl(η2-C2H4)(N–N)]+ complexes.
