Mechanism of the redox isomerisation of af-dichloro-bc-bis(pyridine)-de-trimethyleneplatinum(IV) to the platinum(II) complex of pyridinium propylide [PtCl2(C5H5NCHEt)(py)]
Abstract
Kinetic and other results on the reaction of af-dichloro-bc-bis(pyridine)-de-trimethyleneplatinum(IV) in benzene forming the platinum(II) ylide trans-[PtCl2(C5H5NCHEt)(py)] are presented; a dissociative mechanism is suggested.
