Silyl and germyl compounds of platinum and palladium. Part II. Some trisgermyl-complexes of six-co-ordinated platinum

Abstract

Treatment of trans-ClPt(PEt₃)₂H or trans-ClPt(PEt₃)₂(GeH₂Cl) with an excess of GeH₃Cl in benzene leads to the formation of a mixture of four different species of the type HPt(PEt₃)₂(GeH₂Cl₂)_n(GeHCl₂)_3–n(n= 1–3). These species have been identified by their ¹H n.m.r. spectra, by use of double irradiation. A species of this type is also formed in the reaction between GeH₃Cl and trans-ClPt(PEt₃)₂(SiH₂Cl), in which there is also some exchange of the germyl- for the silyl-group.
