The first mononuclear triazatrimethylenemethane metal complex, [Pt{NPhC(NPh)NPh}(cod)](cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene)
Abstract
The first example of a mononuclear complex containing the triazatrimethylenemethane ligand is prepared by the silver(I) oxide-mediated reaction of [PtCl2(cod)] with N,N′,N″riphenylguanidine; the single-crystal X-ray structure shows that the ligand bonds in an η2 fashion, forming an essentially planar four-membered PtNCN metallacycle.
