Metallation of a crown thioether ligand. Synthesis, structure and reactivity of [Pt(L1)][BF4] and structure of [PtI2(L1)][BF4](L1= 2,6,10-trithia[11]-m-benezenophane)
Abstract
Metallation of L1 results in formation of the square-planar, crown thioether complex [Pt(L1)][BF4]1; the versatility of this S3C donor ligand is demonstrated by substitution for the central S donor and oxidative-addition to octahedral complexs of PtIV.
