Abstract

Abstract Image

A study of the reaction of PtMe2(bipy) with IPh(C≡CSiMe3)(OTf) at low temperature in acetone, leading to detection of the Pt−Pt-bonded cation [Pt2Me4(C≡CSiMe3)(bipy)2]+, an intermediate in the oxidation of PtII to PtIV, is reported. The cation is assessed as PtIII−PtIII ↔ PtIV−PtII, and at the other extreme may be regarded as a cationic alkynylplatinum(IV) center, “[PtIVMe2(C≡CSiMe3)(bipy)]+”, stabilized by “PtIIMe2(bipy)” as a donor ligand. The detection and isolation of the [Pt2Me4(C≡CSiMe3)(bipy)2]+ cation provides a number of insights into the mechanisms of oxidation reactions.
