Aryldiplatinum(II) Complexes Containing Dimethyl Sulfide and Bis(diphenylphosphino)methane as Bridging Ligands

Abstract

A versatile and yet simple approach to synthesize a series of uncommon symmetrical and unsymmetrical diplatinum(II) complexes cis,cis-[Ar2Pt(μ-SMe2)(μ-dppm)PtAr‘2], 3, in which Ar or Ar‘ = Ph, p-MeC6H4, m-MeC6H4, or p-MeOC6H4, has been developed by the reaction of either cis-[PtAr2(SMe2)2], 1, with [PtAr‘2(dppm)], 2, or cis-[PtAr‘2(SMe2)2] with [PtAr2(dppm)].
