Zerovalent platinum chemistry. Part IX. Reduction of dichlorobis(phosphine)platinum(II) by hydrazine
Abstract
The isolation and characterisation of N2H-bridged complexes formed during hydrazine reduction of cis-[Pt(PR3)2Cl2] are reported. Factors affecting the stability of these new N2H complexes have been studied together with reactivity towards nucleophiles, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide.
