Observation of bridged–terminal hydrido equilibria in a series of iron–platinum bimetallic complexes
Abstract
Oxidative addition of Fe(CO)4PR2H to Pt(C2H4)(PR′3)2 gives an equilibrium mixture of (OC)3Fe(µ-PR2)(µ-H)Pt(PR′3)2 and (OC)3(H)F[graphic omitted]t(PR′3)2, the first system in which an equilibration between bridge and terminal hydride bonding modes can be observed.
