Mechanisms of reactions between organotin compounds and platinum complexes
Abstract
Mechanisms involving PtIV intermediates are proposed for the homogeneous catalysis by platinum (II) complexes of the redistribution reaction 2SnMe3R⇌SnMe4+ SnMe2R2(R = aryl), and for the formation of cis-[PtMe(SnMe2Cl)L2](L = PPh3) from [Pt(C2H4)L2] and SnMe3Cl.
