A di-platinum(IV) complex containing bridging o-xylylene and Ph2PCH2PPh2 groups: synthesis and structure of [Pt2Me4Br2(µ-CH2C6H4CH2)(µ-Ph2PCH2PPh2)]
Abstract
The title compound is the first example of a platinum(IV) complex containing bridging Ph2PCH2PPh2(dppm) and the first example of o-xylylene bridging two metal atoms that are not directly bonded.
