A novel structural rearrangement reaction of dialkylated derivatives of [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4] involving Pt–C bond formation†
Abstract
Reaction of [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4] with the dialkylating agents ClCH2C(O)CH2Cl or ClCH2C(NNHC(O)NH2)CH2Cl gives the dicationic di-μ-thiolate complexes [Pt2{μ-SCH2C(O)CH2S)(PPh3)4]2+ or [Pt2{μ-SCH2C(
NNHC(O)NH2)CH2S}(PPh3)4]2+, isolated as BPh4− salts and characterised by ESI
