A bis-chelated imidoimino PtII complex, [(NPh)(N)C6H4]2Pt 1, was found to undergo N-nitrosation on reacting with AgNO2 or AgNO3 to form a product of formal HNO addition, [(NPh)(NNO)C6H4][(NPh)(NH)C6H4]Pt 3, that was characterised by X-ray analysis; similarly, an amidoimino binuclear PtIII complex was converted into 3 by reacting with NaNO2.
