Abstract

Dimethylplatinum(II) complexes [PtMe2(NN)], with NN = diimine ligand, can react with dichloromethane or chloroform solvent to give the corresponding organoplatinum(IV) complexes [PtClMe2(CH2Cl)(NN)] or [PtClMe2(CHCl2)(NN)], respectively. The products can exist in isomeric forms, corresponding to products of cis or trans oxidative addition. The structures of three dichloromethane adducts and one chloroform adduct are reported.
