Generation and interconversions of the di- and tri-nuclear platinum complexes [Pt2H2(dppe)2], [Pt2H3(dppe)2]+, and [Pt3H3(dppe)3]+. Crystal and molecular structure of [Pt3H3(dppe)3]+[BEt4]–, (dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)
Abstract
Multinuclear n.m.r. and crystallographic studies on [Pt2H2(dppe)2], [Pt2H3(dppe)2]+, and [Pt3H3(dppe)3]+ are described, the structure of the latter being unambiguously established for the first time.
