A platinum-promoted ring-opening reaction of hexakistrifluoromethylbenzene involving carbon–carbon bond cleavage; crystal and molecular structure of bis(t-butyl isocyanide)platinacyclohepta-cis-2,cis-4,cis-6-triene
Abstract
Reaction of hexakis(trifluoromethyl)benzene with triangulo-[Pt3(ButNC)6] or trans-stilbenebis(trimethyl-phosphine)platinum affords the metallacyclohepta-cis,cis,-cis-trienes [[grphic omitted](CF3)L2]; the bis(t-butylisocyanide) complex has been identified structurally by X-ray crystallography.
